Dear God,

When a hand reaches out and connects, the bond itself can help pull us up and out of the mire.  We feel like two rather than one.  Two have more strength than one.  Two can sing a song.  Two can climb mountains.  Two can find the rise together and meet hope.

This medical crisis has caused me to feel like only one, one sinking ship that no one notices when it slips under the water.  I have fallen into the deep because I did not have the energy to continue to bob on top of the water until help came.  But today that hand reached down and pulled me up. When my internist said, "I will do whatever we need to do to make you better," he began ordering tests and suddenly life began to return to my weary, worn body.

Sometimes it only takes one to make us feel like two.  Sometimes we just need to find that one voice that will sing with us.  Sometimes we just need to remember God, you, my Lord, are deeper than the deep.

Thank you,
Blessed Lord,
for pulling me up.
Thank you
for saving me.
Thank you
for the set
of prints
where you
carried me.

Love, Andrea
