Dearest God,

We were just apart for just three days but the longing in our hearts made it seem much longer. A sweet reunion awaited us today as he drove up about 5:00 p.m.

How do you change the heart? How do you transform the mind shifting its thoughts, beliefs and gestures? How do you stir the soul and show a different picture than one that has been seen for a long time? How do you do it?

What seemed so impossible to me became so possible with you. I was hemmed in by negative thoughts and beliefs. I was trapped in the fortress of my own making so I could protect myself. I was lost in a lonely world.

Yet, when you came through revealing a shining truth, a clearer picture, an alternative perspective, a way to a new beginning and a challenge to dump my painful past making a path for the future, everything changed. Faith lifted me higher and higher until all I could see were the halls of heaven.

As we walked into one another's arms, eternity's miracle touched us once again.

Gracious and Loving God,
thank you
for our miracle,
the one
that keeps
giving us signs
of liberation,
hope,
freedom,
love and joy,
transformation.
Until the
end of time,
you have
our hearts
of grateful praise.

Love, Andrea and Harold
