Dear God,

A simple drive down the southern coast of Maine afforded us the occasion to chat, to share the memories, and to sing. It was our last day together.  As the road weaved in and out of the woods by the ocean, we turned up our favorite music and sang for nearly two hours.  Funny how a musical CD with songs from country western singers Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson can turn two teenage girls and their grandmother into a singing trio.  Oh, how we loved it!

Your gifts are many, Loving God; some gifts bind us together in ways we could never imagine.  My granddaughters would never intentionally tune in to country western songs.  They love pop music with their favorite teenage stars.  Yet, when my grandchildren get together with me we listen to our top eleven favorites.  We all know the music and the lyrics.  We sing and play invisible musical instruments.  The shared activity makes us one unit glued together at the heart.

Thank you
for joyous moments
that grow love.
Thank you
for music
and its power
to create.
Thank you
for faith
that brings us together.

Love, Andrea
