Gratitude Dance

19 Comments/ 2263/ 0

My friend, Jen, posted this on her Facebook page for all of her “Yoof” to see….well….I loved it and thought that it was a perfect Sunday post.  A little intro as written on YouTube:

There are no weekend box office charts for online videos. But if there were, at the top of nearly every list right now might well be a four-and-a-half-minute video called “Dancing.” In just a month since its online release, it has been viewed by more than ten million people. After 14 months of traveling in 42 countries, it’s the story of a guy named Matt doing the gratitude dance with a cast of thousands around the globe … from the streets of Mumbai to a rock formation in Ireland to a tulip field in Netherlands!

    This was great! Wow! I loved seeing all the people join in with him in the various countries–my favorite: Quebec with the umbrellas. Made me laugh! I hadn’t seen this one before–makes me want to dance now!

    We saw this video in church the other day. By the end of the video, I was bawling my head off. It was so neat!
