joni and ken at a square dance at a family retreatMany years ago when I was on my feet, I used to love square-dancing – and now when Ken and I go to Family Retreats? We usually have a chance to do a few "do-se-dos" and "swing your partners" with a lot of other special-needs families. I love this snapshot of us square dancing at the recent Family Retreat in New England! It's this kind of clap-your-hands, foot-stomping fun that really refreshes weary and worn-out hearts, giving moms and dads a chance to respond to the powerful message of Christ's transforming love. It's a busy summer season at Joni and Friends and next week we'll be holding 5 more Family Retreats – so please be asking God to soften souls to the Gospel of Jesus.

We do a Cotillion here with the home schoolers to English Country Dancing, and many dress in historical costumes of any time period. This looks like the Virginia Reel. What fun we have, and it looks like you all are having fun too. When our 2 special needs daughters from China, come to join us in a few months, it will be time to plan that Cotillion again. It is a wonderful time for families, a rare treat these days. God bless you all.

Dear Joni, when I was young and healthy, and doing the third grade of high school,I loved to dance "the jive" at the dancing school.Now I love to study the Scriptures and to enjoy the presence of the Lord because my soul is thirsty for Him (Ps 42:1,2). I love to see the happy faces on the photo!
