My dearest God,

How lovely it is to slip inside my husband's arms. How wonderful to be caught in his embrace. While I have always known that each day is a gift, I also know my relationship with my partner is also cause for celebration.

Today we worked together. I painted the porch doorframe, finished painting the wooden boxes in the bathroom and fixed lunch. He watered the areas where we are trying to grow grass, did some work for a neighbor who is away and carried painting supplies to the basement.

But the best part of the day was when we crawled onto the couch and cuddled while we watched a movie. When the movie concluded we took a drive to one of our favorite take out's, bought sandwiches and drove to the beach to gaze upon the blue skies and deep blue ocean. How content we felt to be together, to enjoy a wondrous scene and talk about a little bit of nothing. When we got home, we went back to our couch and watched another movie. A simple day of profound love and thanksgiving.

You, O God,
are the
god of restoration
and reconciliation.
Only you
can fill
the cracks
and holes
in the
human heart.
Only you
can mend
our brokenness.
Only you
can reveal love
once again.
Oh how
I thank you,
my dearest
and loving God.

Always, Andrea
