Does size matter?

Thanks all for your comments - very thought provoking and uplifting! And Dean, loved the notion of your knee being "in parts... all over the place"!! As an orthopeadic nurse, that really had me chuckling!



However, funnily enough, that's a problem I'm struggling with at the moment. I'm waiting for a knee replacement and am always a bit nervous about overdoing it.



And yet, as I believe Helena and I shared somewhere recently, it's really awesome how God gives you relief and release for the period os worship.



Last Sunday we started worship with a very Jewish song (I think) "When the Spirit of the Lord is Within My Heart (I will dance as David danced)".



Do you know that one? I have heard/sung it frequently in the past but quite forgot that it ramps up the tempo with each verse!



So I started with my flags at a fair clip only to be going along like an express train by the end! It was a wonderful worship moment, the whole church was bouncing and singing and it was almost electric. And I was bouncing too and dancing and thinkig "I'm going to really suffer for this tomorrow!" But I kept it up with the band every beat, and through about at least 3½ runs of the song!



But when we stopped, it was like watching a paddock of race horses after a race! Everyone puffing and panting but with HUGE smiles on their faces! Especially the band! And the keyboardist was rubbing his wrists like mad!



And me? I was sitting on the steps of the podium, out of breath, heart going like a jack hammer - better than aerobics any day! But my heart was back to normal within about 3 or 4 minutes which is pretty good considering I'd been a total sloth this past 2 weeks.

Not bad for an overweight 65 year old, huh?



God will provide - and how!



BTW, didn't suffer for it a bit!
