Dear God,

Reunions are one of your great gifts!  When loved ones come together after some period of time, joy rises up filling us to overflowing!  After they leave, the memories keep filling us up.

Whether we experienced a recent reunion or one long ago, we still have the opportunity to remember, celebrate, and rejoice.  We can recall prized moments of hugs, laughter, and the retelling of old stories that bound us together.  The memory alone can make light come into the darkness, bring a song in lonely places, or inspire us to faith.

A reunion is a gathering of love, one that bubbles up from below and rains down like a waterfall.  You make such things happen.  You put joy in our bellies and peace in our souls.  You bless us once again with relationships that mean so much to us. 

Thank you,
Blessed God,
for gifts
from on high.
Thank you
for specials ones
you have placed
in our lives.
Thank you
for touching us
with eternity's love.

Love, Andrea
