Dear God,

I found that love can exist between friends for decades without seeing one another.  Today love welcomed me in to my friends' home.  The smiles on their faces caused my own smile to form.  How wonderful it was to find our way home to one another once again.

I realize that love is truly a gift.  I don't know how you create love or how you make it grow.  I only know it has a living quality much like yeast when added to a mixture.  It begins with a friendship and over time it increases.

At the end of the day I turned out the light and prayed, giving thanks for a beautiful day, for sharing funny stories and meaningful remembrances, and for love that never went away.

Generous God,
how grateful
I am
for your love
that has
so much power.
You ignite love
in us
and then
cause it
to multiply
even before
our eyes.
You stir
in us
inspiring us
to not only
love you
but one another.
Thank you,
thank you,
thank you.

Love, Andrea
