What's the hokey pokey all about?

So, this has been an interesting few weeks off of work so far. We have had our ups and downs of life these last two weeks. I sprained my ankle the day after starting summer break. My dad had his lip busted by a high air pressure pipe while working. We had a great week of VBS at church last week. Today, tops it all . . . My 87 year old grandma fell off of her bed, and she gashed her leg open. She had to get stitches, but she has to stay off of her leg for 4-6 weeks. If any of you know my grandma, then you know that we need prayer indeed. With all of that said, the hokey pokey is what it is all about . . . the hokey pokey life with God that is.

As a Christian, God never promised us happiness in our lives, but joy . . . pure joy with Christ as our guide. In all of these situations, God had his hand at work in our everyday lives. We are all still alive, but we have some minor inconveniences going on. It could have turned out differently for each one of us. We must rely on God to protect us. I know you are thinking, but God didn't protect you, you all still got hurt. My answer is, "Yes, God did protect us. We are still alive".

Just like in the hokey pokey, we put ourselves into the circle, and we take ourselves out, then we shake up our lives, but we still continue to play the game . . . life, but as a Christian we have a referee/lifeguard, which is God. He is there in the middle of this hokey pokey life to watch us when we get a little off balanced. He is there to pick us up again and again with the hokey pokey life . . .
