Dear God,

I walk into love each time I make my way to Bethel Church. I am scooped up by children, teens, and adults young and old. I receive hugs galore. What it tells me is this: You are present waiting to greet old friends.

To feel your arms around me, to sense the joy your love offers, and to drink in your presence that heals and hopes, flavors and blesses, and enchants and inspires is to experience the wonderment of grace. Not only do I experience the love of your people, I also get to be touched by you once again.

Blessed God,
to whom
all glory
is due,
thank you
for your
gracious love
poured out
day in
and day out.
Thank you
for vessels
that not only
hold love
but give it away.
Thank you
for blessings
that constantly
await us.

Love, Andrea
