Dearest God,

I listened for the sound of your voice.  When it came it was beautiful!

The retreatants, women seeking you, gathered together tonight for food, fellowship, and faith.  What a time we had as we chattered one with the other.  We had greeted one another with hugs, all 12 of us.  We were drawn by faith, the light shining in each one's eyes.  We saw your face as we looked at one another.

But it was following my small presentation that the word of your living presence began to fly.  With gleeful delight each one around the room shared moments of faith, learnings, new experiences, great delights, insights, joys received, hopeful answers to life's deepest questions, growth, and peaceful calm.  We smiled, you know that kind of smile that comes from an inner knowing.  Our hearts beat with enthusiasm as we celebrated each blessing offered.  We knew the source and the Source.

Speak and
we will listen,
Living Lord;
we long
to hear
your sweet voice.
Thank you
for sharing
heaven's joy
with us tonight.
Thank you
for being
with us,
for enlightenment,
happiness, wisdom,
and peace.

Love always, Andrea
