Dearest God,

Sophie, 13, and Stella, 10, joined me at the campsite last night.  The three of us played games by flashlight in our tent, drank specially-made malted milks, ate popcorn, prayed our prayers aloud, and slept in our temporary home for a few days.  They prayed all the cousins would come together and we fell fast asleep.

The birds were singing when we woke up this morning.  It was wet in the tent because it rained in the night.  We carried in sleeping bags, blankets, and some other wet stuff.  Not to be deterred we washed and dried items and dragged them back out.  We continued our prayers for a reunion of the cousins.

Almighty God,
we trusted
in you
as we prayed
for a miracle.
In the tent
we asked you
for your help.
We lived
our faith
as Stella
assured us
we would
come together soon.

Love always, Andrea
