Songs That Encourage: Dancing in the Minefields
There are some songs that you listen to because you enjoy them, and there are some you listen to because they bring back memories.
When Abi and I were in school we came to realize we didn’t agree on the roles of a husband and wife in marriage. We had an inkling before we started school that discussions were coming, but we didn’t know how deep our convictions ran.
There came a time that we realized our disagreement could be a dealbreaker. I had many friends telling me to prayerfully consider whether the relationship should continue.
Dancing in the Minefields is a song about commitment. Marriage is not something my wife and I wanted to take lightly, and this song came at a time when our commitment to each other was tested.
”So when I loose my way, find me
When I loose love's chains, bind me
At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days
When I forget my name, remind me”
A long-distance relationship for over 4 years was not easy, but lyrics like these gave us courage to press on.
That is what a good song does. When you need that reminder of what you believe or the strength to carry it through, the song will appear.
Thank you, Lydon, for sharing this spectacular song.
I am still married after 45+ years because of commitment and the grace of the LORD Jesus...
😄😇😄
You’re welcome, Brother. And we sing hallelujah with you for the Lord’s grace and faithfulness.
that's a lovely song and a lovely thought, lydon - love is an emotion and it's also a commitment -
Cana is forever ...I never saw it any other way, so I guess compromise is inevitable
Thank you, John. Love always finds a way.
Music is always scary recognizable in a way that when you are happy..there is a happy song. When you are heart broken, you only hear sad love songs. We hear and see what we relate to I guess.
A 4 year long distance relationship is not easy though! Courage that you guys kept it going and had faith! Beautiful!
That is true. Music has a way like that.
Thank you! We are blessed.
@lydon.sipe I congratulate you for listening to the music of angels. The soul is always comforted. Best regards
Glad you enjoyed the music.
Friend wise words, your example of life, and you have all the reason, I also happened to me in prayer I ask God for a sign that everything can, and he gives me the signal of what is appropriate or not ..
The lyrics of that song really came to me. to my soul I mentioned it to my wife, and said that beautiful lyrics of that song. It is true that a relationship should not be easy at a distance and more for four years.
It is a blessing to hear the song blessed you, friend.
