Keep on Dancing

Hi all. I shared this story to all of my facebook friends and family and thought I would share it with everyone that is keeping up with Shelby through the blog.  This morning I put on a Mercy Me CD to listen to while getting Shelby ready for the day. Despite singing not being my strong suit I was singing with the CD as it played (poor Shelby). There is a song titled "Alright" and it includes the lyrics, "count it pure joy when the world comes crashing. Just hold your head high and keep on dancing."  So right after I sang those lyrics Shelby tells me, "we need to do that."  I told her that if she danced I would. So with the biggest grin ever on her face, she raised her arms as high as she can and waved them in time with the music.  I danced.  She continues to amaze, encourage, and bless me.   So everyone, if Shelby can, we can!

Let's keep on dancing!
Sue

    Dear Sue,
    Thank you for sharing this with us; it brought tears to my eyes; Shelby has a brave, beautiful spirit and serves as an inspiration for all of us;
    I have been thinking of you a great deal lately, and am sending you lots of good wishes this holiday season; mostly, my wish for you is that you are finding the time each day to rest and renew your spirits.

    Sincerely,
    Kathy

    I am dancing with you! You never seem to amaze me with you spirit and faith. I was explaining to Kristie when she settles down (in many years to come)that she should find someone with faith in God, like she has. And I mentioned what that has done for Matt and Shelby and your whole family. Hopefully she will. God Bless
