My dearest God,

Your plans are always better than our own.  As we follow along doing the unexpected, love is borne and grace is provided.  Faith is strengthened and life is good.

A situation occurred a few months ago.  Much hurt was experienced by several people.  None of us were sure we could resolve things well enough that we could pick up where we left off and find peace and joy.  But that is because we were all thinking much too small.

This weekend I caught a glimpse of what you wanted to do and I simply trusted you.  It seemed effortless and everything turned out just as you imagined it would.  Far better than I thought it might.  Love blossomed again.  We all laughed and enjoyed one another.  But you knew it would be that way.  You knew what was at stake.  You knew what was possible.  You gave it all...but then...you always do.

Who loves
like you,
Heavenly Father?
No one.
Thank you
for the gifts,
the beautiful,
wonderful gifts
of love
and mercy.
But more
than that,
thank you
for the relationship
with you.
There is none
like one
with you.
Compassionate God,
thank you
from the bottom
of my heart!

Love, Andrea
