Dear God,

We can find church wherever we look for it.  Although I cannot attend worship services this glorious Advent morning, knowing there are people praying for my recovery brings them all closer to me.  As each one celebrated with God in worship yesterday, their joyous spirit and kind compassionate merged together finding its way to me in prayer.  Although in pain and with a fever, I felt no want.  Christ and his community of healing were with me.

I do not know how you cleverly speak to us through the human elements when we are not together in one place; however, what I do know is prayer is a manifestation of your living presence in our lives.  As we learn to trust you more and more, the better able we are enabled to see through the eyes of faith.

Living God,
thank you
for your
holy people.
Thank you
for prayer
that connects us together.
Thank you
for love
that has
no beginning
and no end.

Love always, Andrea
