Dearest God,

A morning in your house is like no other!  Every time I step inside your home, I remember your grace and its invitation to me to live in relationship to you and to my neighbor near and far.

There is a joy that overwhelms me as we sing out your praise. When we pray the Lord's Prayer, the Our Father, I am aware we are not the first to pray it.  Your very own disciples prayed with you and they taught others to pray with them.  Throughout the ages, generations of the faithful have prayed the same prayer.  I recognize what an honor it is to pray your prayer.

As I listen for your word to me, I realize how much love is involved.  It is not because I am perfect or any better Christian than another, it is just your nature to love children you have created.  I am incredibly blessed!

Teach me
to love
as much
as you,
O Lord.
Show me
the way
to love
my neighbor
as you
love them.
Let me
bless others
as you
have blessed me.

Love, Andrea
