Dearest God,

Is it really true that little children will lead us to you?  In their bad times as well as in their good?

What I expected to be another joy of a lifetime turned into a disaster, one that hurt and disappointed so much. I could not imagine that a simple time of getting together could turn into something else but it did.  I hurt in ways I could not imagine from my grandchildren.  Usually they bless and when they do, I am turned to you in celebration.  Today I learned their disappointing behaviors could lead me to you as well.

Thank you.

Merciful God,
thank you
for reminding me
to turn
to you
in every situation.
Keep me
close to you
so I
may exhibit
faith and trust.
Make me
an example
of love
and forgiveness.

Always, Andrea
