Dear God,

Your spirit moves in mighty and profound ways! When our eyes are opened to faith, we are enabled, empowered to see the amazing grace of a loving creator. We view life from above, witnessing not only actual events but also the movement of your Holy Spirit!

Today many of us gathered for the memorial service of a friend who recently died of cancer.  During that hour scriptures were read, songs were sung, eulogies were shared, prayers were offered, and a meditation was given.  But above the surface reconciliations were taking place, healing was coming from heaven, hope was being restored, faith was being renewed, forgiveness was being imparted, and joy was erupting. 

By day's end a new day had come because you came to us!

Blessed Lord,
thank you
for the work
of your
Holy Spirit.
Although we
are not worthy
of your
generous grace,
you give it anyway.
As recipients
we are grateful,
so very,
very grateful!

Love, Andrea
