Dear God,

More and more I am aware how important it is to give to others.  If I spend my life soaking up all the gifts around me, I will hinder others' ability to take in gifts you provide.  My selfishness can hurt others in their own pursuit of heavenly blessings.  When I open space for someone else to find their way, I can watch with great joy the discoveries that unfold when one intentionally walks the spiritual path.

Making the journey myself I have learned how vital it is to be spiritual companions with pilgrims around me.  As I draw near to you or they do, each of us can get a peek of heaven.  We can share the peace and insights that come.  We can drink from the same well of living water and find spiritual refreshment.  We can sing your praise and offer our grateful thanksgiving.

Thank you
for the
spiritual path
that leads us
to you
and one another.
Thank you
for spiritual companions
who seek
your face
and spiritual counsel.
Thank you
for joy
that comes
when we
find you
along our way.

Love, Andrea
