Dearest God,

"Welcome home!"  I heard as I saw neighbors after several months.  Home, I thought, home.  Although I do not consider Maine my permanent home, still I am home here.

I love experiencing home.  I love the feeling of being at peace, content, warm.  Home whispers safety, security, warmth, acceptance, and love.

But there is no home like yours, no home that connects me more than you and I don't just mean heaven or eternity.  I mean our relationship, yours and mine make home for me.  Truly, I feel joy when I think of the home you and I have made together.  I feel a sense of inclusion, hope, and delight.  You are my spiritual home, the most important home in my life.  While my other "homes" are important, none stacks up to the home you provide.

I am home no matter where I am because I am with you.

Thank you,
Wondrous God,
for the gift
of companionship.
Thank you
for allowing me
to partner
with you.
Thank you
for faith
and love
that connects us
every moment
of every day.
Thank you,
my Lord,
thank you.

Love always, Andrea
