God has a reset button for our souls.
Frustrated and exhausted, Peggy walked the mission property early mornings to slip away temporarily from her caregiver duties and meet with the Savior. Her husband suffered from a bout with shingles that left him in constant pain with no relief--not even with morphine. Months turned into years. Countless doctors tried their best but with no success.
Where was God? Didn't He see them in the middle of a foreign country with no help? Hadn't they given their lives to serve as missionaries and trusted Him for their health? She wept as she sat near a flowerbed filled with daisies. Just then, the buzz of bees drew her attention. They flew peacefully from flower to flower doing the job God created them to do, even as a storm approached. She noticed a pattern. If bees could be joyful and peaceful in all circumstances, surely she could find a way.
Through the thirty-one devotions, this book examines what Peggy learned about God's intricate creation of the honeybee and how it speaks direction into our need for living peaceful, productive lives while overcoming stress and achieving joy. God is faithful always, and His creation magnifies His majesty if we take time to seek Him in
everyday situations--even through the honeybee.

Peggy Cunningham's new book will sweeten your life. Dancing Like Bees is a refreshing devotional, using the honeybee to illustrate principles of faith. The author presents gentle teaching to encourage "ordinary people serving an extraordinary God" to pray about our priorities. A missionary in Bolivia, she's learned--despite an overflowing schedule--to thank God for divine interruptions. Probing questions at the end of each chapter help assess our busyness and motives. Spending time in God's Word provides a reset button for the soul, she writes. As honeybees in winter feed on the honey they collected during warmer months, memorizing Scripture prepares us to feast in winter seasons of life. The tireless honeybee teaches us to be diligent in our work, serving God with joy and peace in every circumstance, allowing the sweet nectar of His Spirit to flow through us. Dancing Like Bees inspires us to "be bold, loving, and sensible--using the special gift of ministry we've received so others see the flame (blaze) within us and want what we have--the Savior!"
