Our Granddaughter’s dance recital was this weekend. She goes to a wonderful school. A young lady, only a few years ago, began teaching dance to just a few girls – dance that openly honors the Lord Jesus Christ. This overt Christian bias shows in every aspect, from the music, to the costumes, to the programs, etc. I think it’s wonderful. But, then again, I would. It has now blossomed to the point that they have to have four different recitals to accommodate all the kids. Amazing!
I admit I’m openly pessimistic about our culture. It seems that the “slippery slope” has turned into a Niagara Falls. Everywhere we turn we see all manner of things that would lead our kids away from a godly lifestyle. And yet, in the midst of this torrent of the ungodly the Lord brings forth this oasis of the godly. I watched as child after child after child honored God, the God of the Bible by the way, with their talent. Every little movement, every modest costume, every prelude of Scripture, every piece of music that openly proclaimed Jesus, it was all about our Savior.
I was reminded that my pessimism not withstanding, God can still raise up something beautiful when and where He pleases. With God anything is possible. Seems like I read that in a book somewhere.
And by the way, my Granddaughter was wonderful!!
