Dear God,

What joy is mine when grandchildren come to stay the weekend!  Their laughter, smiles, and hugs remind us of the gift of family, not only the biological kind but the whole spiritual family of which we are all a part.  You give us the gift where love is given and received so we may blossom into the full beings you have created us to be.

When the grandchildren come to visit, we sleep in sleeping bags on the floor.  We play games, watch videos, and dance crazy dances.  We pray, eat fun foods, and worship together.  We build memories to share later on.  We make great use of the time you give us together.

As I look into their eyes, I see you looking back.  I see the radical connection you make as special people bond and celebrate your goodness.  Always, always we pray and give thanks!

Good God,
giver of life
and family,
thank you
for your generosity,
friendship,
and love.
Thank you
for making us
for each other.
Thank you
for blessings
so very,
very beautiful.

Love, Andrea
