Just think, that for over two thousand years after Jesus was on the earth, most things have not changed. \u00a0From the beginning of time, our ancestors lived life as the best they could. They chose to follow God or not. They chose to have joy or sorrow in their hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Look at what God has done for His people, Israel. He chose to make them from a promise He made to Abraham. His family were idol makers. God knew something about his heart and chose to test him through making him wait for the birth of his only son into the promise. At the birth of Isaac there was a\u00a0celebration of life.\u00a0I like to think\u00a0of God\u00a0being impressed by Abraham&#8217;s trust and of Isaac&#8217;s trust of his father. Isaac had\u00a0to accept\u00a0God in his own life and learn to trust him.<\/p>\n<p>We rear our children in the church, but they have to make trusting God their own. Our kids think life shows them what and who God is in their life. But it is up to us to guide them into making right choices. Just as the kings of Israel knew who God was, some decided not to follow after God. They chose to lead the people astray. God cannot make someone want to follow Him, our hearts have to be willing to accept God. \u00a0We also need to remember to celebrate the small victories, so we do not get weighed down with the world&#8217;s problems. \u00a0We need to dance on God&#8217;s big dance floor!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Father, help us to remember to celebrate life. \u00a0Often times we make our lives too hard or complicated. \u00a0We forget to look out past the weeds to see the beautiful butterflies or animals that You have created for our and Your enjoyment. \u00a0Thank You for the little treasures we receive&#8212;the bird songs, the crisp morning air, the baby&#8217;s cry, the ability to get up out of our beds. \u00a0Thank You for the inspiration music gives\u00a0to us to dance! \u00a0Thank You, in Jesus&#8217; name. \u00a0Amen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m coming back to the startWhere You found\u00a0meI&#8217;m coming back to Your heartNow I surrenderTake meThis is all I can bringI&#8217;m coming back to the startOur God is freedomAnd here we feel Your heartYour heartbeat for usTake meThis is all I can bring You&#8217;ll never stop loving\u00a0usNo matter how far we runYou&#8217;ll never give up [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":16629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4937],"tags":[1302,1287,425,6631,4932,1071],"class_list":["post-20324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psalms-hymns-and-spiritual-songs","tag-chris-tomlin","tag-gch","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-gods-great-dance-floor","tag-psalms-hymns-spiritual-songs","tag-tina-marin","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-5hO","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20324"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20465,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20324\/revisions\/20465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
