Is there anything more precious than watching a small child worshipping God?  We have a children’s dance team at our church called Stepping Stones.  Many of these little girls are also in my Sunday School class, so I have a special connection to them.  I love to watch them dance before the Lord whether it is during regular worship or when they do a special dance for the church.

     Children are so pure and uninhibited in their worship.  Their innocence and eagerness to please God is amazing.  If we adults could only capture their enthusiasm for serving  God.  When they prepare for a special dance for the church, they spend hours of practicing, just like our women’s dance team.  They have coaches and instructors who help with the music and choreography.  Many of the girls take private dance lessons as well.  They want to worship God in excellence.

     I am so blessed when I watch these little ones dance.  I’m NOT a dancer, but have always loved dancing.  Perhaps we should all take a look at their committment to do their best.  We sometimes hurry through our moments of worship and prayer in order to get on to more important things.  Now I ask you,  what can be more important than spending time with Jesus?

     Little feet in pretty dresses, smiling faces and curly tresses,  they only hope to please the Lord, through their dance and by their word.
