Dear God,

There are just some things that touch the deep cord of faith, things that cause us to smile, lift our hearts, and make your light shine bright!  It happened at church last night.

We stepped inside the church and took a seat on the back row.  Thinking a brass concert would be loud and the room would get too warm, we were greeted by friends whose hospitality always makes your presence known.  But it was when the concert began that joy took over and I swayed in the pew, tapped my foot, and danced with my hands.  Before long my husband and I were dancing in the aisle.

One of the life lessons you have taught me is to trust you, to let go into your arms, and to allow you to move me, my whole being.  When the spirit of the living Lord takes over, joy is possible.  Peace is possible.  Hope is possible.  Last night I got all three!

Bless you,
dear Lord,
bless you.
Thank you
for heaven's joy
that is possible
when we
hook up
with you.
Thank you
for music
that can
open any heart.
Thank you
for love
that can touch,
inspire, and bless
every soul.

Love always, Andrea
