Dance and Love

katina · February 16, 2012 · 5 Comments

Sometimes I get teary eyed just looking out at the women in our class dancing, having fun and loving on themselves and others. We are all ages, sizes and colors, a true melting pot of Dance Fit Divas! For people who have never experienced one of our classes, they may be inclined to say that we are “JUST DANCING”.

Oh, Divas, we are accomplishing so much more than “JUST DANCING”. We are taking care of ourselves and our community. By “JUST DANCING”, our class raised over $3,000 last year for various local and national charities. By “JUST DANCING”, women in our community have: lost weight, made new friends, battled depression, and made themselves a priority.

In Matthew 22: 37-38, Jesus teaches on the two greatest commandments. 37Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. 38And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. (NIV)

I read an awesome devotion today by Mary Southerland on Matthew 22: 37-38. Mrs. Southerland summed it amazingly with the following statement: “Jesus teaches that we are to love ourselves enough to take care of and be concerned with the welfare of our own bodies and souls. Our body houses the Holy Spirit. Our soul is eternal. We are responsible for the care of both. And we must love our neighbor as truly and sincerely as we love ourselves.”

So Divas, I challenge you to love the Lord and to love yourselves and others. Obedience to these commandments will beautifully transform our lives.

    I usually do not drop a comment, but after reading a few of
    the comments on this page Dance and Love. I do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind.
    Could it be just me or does it give the impression like some of the remarks come across like they are left
    by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I would like to keep up with you.
    Would you list of all of all your public pages like your linkedin
    profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

    Hi there! This post couldn’t be written any better!
    Looking at this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He constantly kept preaching about this. I’ll send this article to
    him. Pretty sure he’s going to have a very good read. Thank you for sharing!
