Dear God,

This morning in the quiet silence, I went through my Advent routine by turning on the tree and mantle lights, lighting a candle and sitting down to write. I had the sense that the whole world was silent for one moment as we came together in solidarity to pay homage to the gift of heaven. Although we do not all call ourselves Christian, there is, I believe, a reverence for all that is good and my soul tells me that what is good is God.

My earnest prayer is that we will somehow take hold of that goodness and run with it throughout the whole world. My prayer is that your goodness will bring a calming peace to each soul. My prayer is your goodness will change us into creatures with hearts as big as creation and as deep as the ocean with love that flows like an everlasting fountain. Make it so, dear God, I pray, so that we will in one accord forever sing praises to you.

On this
glorious Christmas morn,
receive my love
and the love
of all
your children,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
