Dearest God,

Is there a thin divine cord that connects us to you and those we love? Once when a daughter was estranged, I held on to the thought that an eternal thread kept me connected to my child. I grasped on to hope until the waters calmed and we were indeed drawn back together again. Is there a thread or was it my deep desperation to believe there was something more at work?

When I hear of brokenness in families or horrors of loved ones kidnapped or lost, I return to my question of a link that can never be severed. Am I crazy or is it true?

Teach us
the way
of love
that never
lets go,
dear God;
show us
your way,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
