Who Is Watching
The Beauty of Your Dance?
The tiny dancers couldn’t take their eyes off the exquisite maneuvers of the pre-teen, teen and adult ballerinas.
One couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in the tender minds of these understudies just off-stage.
Were they fixated on the beauty they beheld or were they dreaming of the day when they would become the beauties?
The parents and grandparents at the recital knew that day would come as quickly as the twirls and spins of the older girls. Perhaps this insight would cause us to take seriously each “maneuver” we make as adults?
Young eyes and hearts, whether on the park bench alongside the basketball court or behind the curtains at the ballet, long for the day when it will be their turn.
And all the while, some of us don’t realize that we are being watched, examined and commented on by “youngins” as sure as fans do at a mega sporting event.
If the impressionable souls around us witness beauty, they will strive to be beautiful.
The beauty of a hearty dish at suppertime or the car that got fixed in the garage or the garden that was weeded and fussed over or the bicycle that had its training wheels taken off might all be some of the classes in the finishing school of the next generation.
We are dancing our way through life and someone is watching.
May each of our steps be a thing of beauty.
PORTAL TO HEAVEN: Where would we be without the model of Jesus Christ?
He had…no beauty that we should desire him…Behold the beauty of the Lord…In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel…He is the radiance of the glory of God…Your eyes will see the King in His beauty…“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”…the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
