Dear God,

Your blessings come to us in beautiful ways!  When we open our hearts, minds, and souls, we are in for a spiritual adventure and you do not disappoint.

Last night I learned a valuable life lesson as we rehearsed our music at our weekly church choir rehearsal.  Your love is a living love for us.  You did not love us just once but rather your love is living.  As we sing we sing a living song of faith.  It is not just a nice song with words.  It is a testimony to what we vow in our hearts. 

As we sang the words, Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, I found myself at once in your care.  I felt love surround me and grace within me.  I filled up with joy singing what I know to be true.  I wanted to dance with joy for my savior.

Such encounters are not rare but common.  Every day you speak and show us your face.  You allow us to experience the divine who embraces us, making new our faith, and keeps us moving in your direction.  How grateful we are!

Living God,
thank you
for living faith,
for living prayer,
for living songs,
for living hearts,
and for living love.

Love right back, Andrea
