Dear God,

As I walked down the hallway of my home early this morning, I saw the twinkling white lights decorating the front doorway of our home.  I stood by the door and marveled at the light in the darkness.  I was awash in peace as the thought came to me of people praying for me this morning as I undergo a total knee replacement in a local hospital. 

So often we feel alone, forgotten but when we know people are praying, we feel the joy of your love washing over us.  We know the power of love connecting people together.  We know you stand with us.

As I sit by the glowing Christmas tree, I feel your living presence with me.  I let gratitude fill me with thanksgiving for life, guidance, comfort, joy, and holy faith.

Blessed Lord,
thank you
for reminding me
of prayer.
Thank you
for love
that links us
with you
and others.
Thank you
for compassion
that is mercy
at work.

Love always, Andrea
