Dear God,

How long does a miracle last? The moment it occurs, a day, a week, a month, how long?

Today as the rain gently fell and we were confined inside our home, I was mindful of the miracle you gave my husband and me two years ago this month. When your mighty spirit blew into our home granting me a vision of hope, restoration, reconciliation, renewal, faith, peace, and joy, our miracle began and continues today. I remember so well how your grace lighted upon me mending my broken heart, removing bulky obstacles, filling my soul with light and warmth, revealing the truth that sets people free, and providing a picture of a new and promising future. I will never ever forget it.

As we continue to carry the massive gift of love you gave to us, we are seeing signs of how the miracle is extending beyond us to family members and friends. One miracle, it seems, is touching other lives creating a miracle in them. How far will it go? How many will it transform?

Teach me
the ways
of faith
where trust
is always
at the center.
Show me
the path
to your light
that has
the power
to eradicate
our many darknesses.
Give me
a song
to sing
your praise
now and always,
I pray.

Love always, Andrea
