My dearest God,

Although the wind howled and snow fell from the skies with double digit wind chill, your spirit kept us warm inside.  With candles aglow we shared words of faith with one another.

Our retreat weekend was so like many other times when miraculously your grace made itself visible. We discovered you in small groups, in coloring mandalas, in listening to scripture stories, in sharing our own musings, and in making creations that shared our own uniqueness.  We were joyous because we were filled with your kind of joy.

You came
to us,
Holy One;
you dwelled
among us.
You whispered
words of faith;
you sang
your song;
you invited us
to dance
the dance
of faith
and so
we did.
Thank you,
thank you.

Love, Andrea
