Dearest God,

As I drove in the darkness, I turned on the CD of Jackie Evancho. I listened to the pure sound of Pie Jesu and found myself reflecting upon the wonders of astonishing grace. Just then I looked to the other side of the highway and I noticed how the car headlights shined in the darkness. With the music of angels and light piercing the darkness, it was so easy to dwell in eternity's realm, to allow myself to breathe in your goodness and love.

I do believe there is another dimension to life that lifts us even from the wonders of human experience. I think of it as heaven's home. A place, a space, a spirit of wonderment, beauty, peace and joy, this dwelling place offers something much more. Music and light are just two automatic doors, entrances into eternal joy.

During such moments of grace, I am so aware of your presence, a quiet, glorious, lavish love poured onto earth from heaven's vast wells. I feel such peace and desire to pray giving thanks knowing that it is all gift, all blessing, all you.

Thank you,
Gracious Gift of Heaven,
for earthly moments
filled with
eternity's joy.
Thank you
for awareness
and gratitude
that lifts
from my soul
and circles
with hope.
Thank you
for sacred connections
where the
human and divine
dance and
sing together.

Forever yours, Andrea
