Dear God,

I watched as the idea took hold, how worn people from the weekend suddenly came to life. I saw it the instant the spirit entered the scene. You were present in the living room.

We had come to a standstill, a state of being stuck. Another vote would have permanently lodged us in concrete. We had to find another way.

The insight had come when we had met with a professional about another matter. The professional left for another meeting but we had stayed to talk. "Wait a minute! Maybe we've been operating from a wrong assumption." I had said and we all agreed it was possible.

So we came together to talk with a person in the know, a man with expertise. At first we looked like we were digging a deeper hole beneath us. I could feel the dirt being thrown in over us, but then something happened and everything changed.

A light shone, the bulb remaining on for the rest of the meeting. We came up with a plan, a good one I think. A way to get us all together, involved, making positive decisions for our future...with you.

Where are we
if not with you?
What good
can we do
without you?
You bring
the light.
You offer
us a way,
then lead us
to your destination.
As true followers,
we see the light
and follow it
the distance.
Keep ever before us,
O Lord,
do not let us
lose sight
of you.
Lead us,
we pray.

Love, Andrea
