Dear God,

Six wonderful people joined us for dinner tonight. I cooked and cleaned all day making ready for our friends to join us for the evening.

As each arrived we took them through our home and outside for a look at our work on our nearly 200 year old home. As we made our way inside and ate dinner around the table in the dining room, we laughed, enjoyed, teased, and prayed together. What a beautiful time we shared.

We met our friends at church. Sharing a common faith we bonded together by singing in the choir. Their spirits are infectious and have touched my husband and me. Their stories and their life journeys have helped quicken our own sense of your presence in human lives. Together in our dining room your real presence filled us.

Loving God,
your grace
brings people together
in ways
we could
not do otherwise.
We are thankful,
grateful for
your tender care
and gracious ways.
Thank you
for our
spiritual friends.

Love always, Andrea
