Dearest God,

We fail so to reach for the light.  We grab for the quick and the easy, the shiny, and the thing that promotes itself.  We may get everything we grab for but it quickly turns to dust in our hands.

So often we miss opportunities to live, breathe, and dance in the light.  We choose cheap substitutes over the real thing.  We forfeit the glorious light of God.

But in those moments when we stumble into the light, when we dare look up, and our eyes stretch to see your intoxicating light, the warmth of your living spirit shoots through our spine penetrating every single pore filling us with the light of your face.  Your glory fills us, joy rises up and spills over, and praise erupts from our mouths.  We know the blessing of faith and realize there is no duplicate.

Holy God,
precious memories
of meeting you
fill us
with hope
and faith.
Thank you
for every encounter.
Thank you
for blessing us
with the
best gift
of all.

Love always, Andrea
