Dearest God,

It is quiet except for the birdsong I can hear outside the kitchen window.  It is Sunday, a day when I shall gather with your family to pray, to sing, to worship, to hug, and to love.  It is a day when I know I will grow my faith.  Internally I will allow my heart to swell, my mind to learn, and my soul to open wide.  It is a day when I will meet you.

There is just something amazing about preparing myself to gather in your house.  I anticipate it.  I look forward to singing favorite songs.  I already sense the love friends will offer upon seeing me and others.  I enjoy opening myself and shaking out any cobwebs I have allowed to collect since last we met.  As I open the windows to my heart, I see the spirit breeze coming blowing gently upon me and I know our time has come once again and I am thankful.

Majestic God
so full
of love,
thank you
for sacred encounters
reminding me
I am yours.
Thank you
for counting me
as one
of your children.
Thank you
for your house
where I am
always welcome.
I offer you
my devotion
and praise.

Love, Andrea
