Dancing in the Leaves
30 x 40 Oil on Canvas Sold.
““And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Fall arrives on the calendar next Tuesday. Someone forgot to send the memo to those of us that live in Texas. The Dallas Ft Worth area remain in the mid to high 90's and at night in the mid to high 70's. We are 10-15 degrees warmer than we should be. In the colorful painting of horses above, they are celebrating the cooler colorful nights and are up under the moon dancing in the leaves.
When do you 'dance in the leaves'? God wants us to be happy in life and joyful. Today finds many of us tired and burdened with stress and work in our lives. ( I am probably talking about the 40 and up generations) I am blessed to have three children, all married with children... that grew up conservative, empathetic to others, open to dialogue with out labeling, and believers in the Lord. Two out of three of them know when to dance in the leaves and truly enjoy what is there for them. One takes too much after me in the 'responsibility' area and continues (as I do) to put everyone first always. So easy to forget this is not what God wants from us. While he has laid it out for us to work and care for our needs, and the needs of those that unable to work... at the same time, he has plans for us to enjoy family, hobbies we love, and on the Sabbath to keep it holy and not be cleaning house or working on the computer.
I pray for you to have the opportunity to Dance in the Leaves one day... or one night. God made this perfect plan for us giving us times and seasons.; days of work and a day of rest. His timing is perfect. We must trust in Him.
Psalm 149:3 "Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre."
