My dearest God,

What a homecoming I experienced when two grandchildren and their little friend bolted out of the car, ran to me and threw their arms around various levels of my body when I arrived at the airport. Squeals of "Grandma, Grandma!" made their way straight to my heart. I grabbed hold of three kids at once in one big giant hug and there I gave kisses to the top of all their sweet heads.

I feel so blessed each time I am in the company of my loved ones. When love is expressed to me, the whole of me rejoices. And where does that rejoicing lead me? To you, of course. I am convinced and confident that you alone are the author of love. Otherwise, where would it come from? How would it develop? And when would it find its way into my life, our lives?

You are
the great lover
of my soul,
all our souls,
dear God;
to you
I want
to give
my all.
I thank you
for wondrous happenings
in my life
and our lives
where you appear
in the midst
of love given
and received.
My heart
is full of love
for you.

As always, Andrea
