A Good Friday
March 26, 2008
On Good Friday, March 21st, there was this Christian Rally in the parking lot at Moore Elementary ( a local elementary school a block from my house). There was an a pretty intense speaker…and loud music. really loud music.
As many of you know my parents aren’t Believers and neither is anyone else in my family including aunts, uncles, cousins, sister etc etc etc.
Well my parents and I went to dinner and came home and stood outside because it was a nice night. We let the dogs out and were playing with them in the front yard. My parents were talking about how loud and annoying that music was and hoped it didnt go on all night. They were playing some upbeat christian song over and over again. And as I was standing there listening to it…I noticed my mom was jumping up and down and dancing to the music with my dog and as I watched her dance, I was listening to the song and listening to the words….I imagined the day I would see her really dance to that because the Joy and Love and Christ not because of the beat of the song….It nearly brought me to tears as I stood in my drive way…
I dont really know how to handle those kind of situations with my parents…its hard and i know its not up to me to “save” them but sometimes it sure does feel like it…but luckily I have great friends that my parents know and love like Chris, Daniel, Leah and Natalie
omgoodness…this brought tears to my eyes khang. i know exactly how you feel because my dad isn’t a believer either…how i long to see Him bow before our God and say yes to Jesus…thanks for being real and writing this. i will begin immediately putting your family before God in intercession.
that was so sweet. i’ve had those moments with my family as well. some day they will be dancing right next to you:)
I am praying for you and your family.
