Dear God,

Is it true that the truths in our soul only rise to the surface when we are ready to explore them?  In our covenant retreat I watched as insights opened new doors to us.  We traveled through and down the hallways seeking for the mystery of faith.  As we paused, waited, and listened, we were lead to our own truths, one in particular.

As I observed your inner workings, I saw love at work once again.  Why else would you offer insights, grace, and healing if it were not for eternity's kind of love?

As we journeyed together, we discovered the power of community to be the salve that anoints and heals.  We remembered your grace who gave us to one another for faith's pilgrimage.  We gave thanks allowing gratitude to return to us so we could use it to express our joy and thanksgiving.

You are God;
there is
no other.
Thank you
for your gifts.
Thank you
for challenges
that remind us
to trust you
so doors
can be opened
to faith.

Love, Andrea
