My dearest God,

Our music filled the space, even the tiniest cracks. We were preparing for the festival in a couple of weeks. Although we were fewer in number, it felt as though angels had taken up residence in the seats left vacant.

What is it about music that lifts the soul? How is it that lyrics, melodies and harmonies can open a closed heart or mind filling it with hope, joy and peace?

What I know is this: You come to us singing the song of heaven. You demonstrate your love to us through music designed to lift souls. And what about souls whose lives are already rejoicing? Praise! Praise! Praise!

My heart
is full
of love
for you,
Almighty and Gentle God;
your care
touches us deeply.
We are
so grateful.

Love, Andrea
