Dearest God,

We had not seen each other for some time so we planned a time for coffee. She took me on a tour of the newly renovated spaces in her home. It was fun to see all the changes that she and her husband had made.

But it was what we did later that inspired me so much. Every topic we discussed seemed to direct us toward faith, what you have done in our lives since we last spent time together. For five hours we found ourselves in your divine circle.

When you gave us the ability to peel back the layers of human living, you always appeared. Whether talking about health, relationships, nature, friendships, or marriage each subject caused us to circle round to you once again.

What I learned during our time together is that to some you are an unseen presence while to others you are very much apparent. Your doings in human history are positively life giving, energizing, and joyous even when they were difficult, challenging and painful.

What joy it gave my friend and me to spend our time rejoicing in you!

Good God,
you fill us
with all
the ingredients
for a
meaningful life.
Through our
life experiences,
you show us
the way
to you.
My heart
sings your praise.

Love, Andrea
