The Rajun Cajun Basketball team is still playing basketball. They are in a postseason tournament. It’s not the NCAA tournament the winner of which is crowned National Champion. This is known as the Big Dance. It’s not the NIT Tournament. A Tournament which has been around for years. Let’s call it the Little Dance. This is a relatively new and unknown tournament, if you will, the Tiny Dance.
But they are still playing and that’s great. It reminds me of life. I had planned to go to Angola today to participate in Prayer and Share with inmates. Let’s call it the big dance. After all, it involves big time sinners and great stories of conversion. I have a health issue this weekend and can’t make it. Well to be perfectly honest, I have a bladder condition and I didn’t have the courage to wear Depends to a Maximum Security Prison. I guess I’m not the bastion of courage I like to portray.
God is good. He is continually providing us “dance” opportunities. They are not always big and dramatic. They are usually subtle every day waltzes. The waitress who serves you breakfast could use an encouraging word, “Play B11.” Let’s Dance. A family member needs to see us handle a bad situation, well, another chance to dance.
After all, it is these small tasks that prepare us for the big ones. Maybe most important of all is that what may seem tiny to us, may be life changing for someone else.
When you leave the house, take your dancing shoes, listen for the music, and be prepared to dance to the Master’s Tune.
Be Blessed.
Nick
