Dearest God,

You led us straight into the miracle!  From the time we arrived yesterday until the end of this day, we viewed extraordinary pictures of your miracle.  You pointed us to your healing power and all of us tasted of the sweet honey.

We have been estranged for years.  Out of the blue (your timing really) a brother-in-law called to invite us for dinner after my husband preached in his home church.  We stayed at Harold's brother's home, a first for me after many years.  How wonderful it was to be included.  Then this morning we all went to church together and there, yes, there in your beloved home, the community of faith participated in the miracle as they received the gift of a beloved family come home.  I sat in the pew and watched you work the miracle, blessing each person.  I listened as Harold preached his finest sermon.  There were nods and tears in the congregation as they too recognized your mighty power at work.  At the conclusion of the worship service, there were many hugs, handshakes, and acknowledgment of your hand upon everyone in the service.  Then we gathered for a meal, several broken people beginning to heal at the same time.  I sat and observed, so full of gratitude and joy as I witnessed the mending of wounded spirits.

Only you,
O God,
have the power
to heal.
Only you
have the
know how
to bring people together
at just
the right time.
Only you,
O Lord,
have enough love
to make us new.
Only you.
Thank you,
Great Holy Spirit.

Love always, Andrea
