Dear God,

A caring nurse shared her struggle to find a church home after a humiliating experience at her last church.  While sharing with her patient, my husband, she smiled real big and said, "I think God kept you overnight in this room so I could be your nurse and you could tell me about Church on the Cape.  We will be there next Sunday!"

You prove yourself over and over again.  You rise to the surface so that our earthly eyes may see you for ourselves.  You speak faith to our doubt and it dissolves before us.  We see you through eyes of faith and we are glad in your spirit.

Hope was borne in that hospital room.  I watched it emerge as Harold and Tracey spoke with each other.  It was Sunday morning and neither could be in church but I daresay the doors to church opened when we shared in your miracle joy!

Holy God,
thank you
for hope
that comes
in the
least likely places!

Love, Andrea
