Dear God,

Your spirit presence enables us to speak from the heart.  It helps us remember, to recall events long forgotten.  It opens us to deep places where we learn life lessons.

This morning at your table we communed eating the bread and the juice as a reminder of your living presence in the NOW today.  We each stepped forward, took a piece of the bread, dipped it into the cup and then ate it.  We were hungry for you, for your truths and your mercy.  We ate in gratitude for our weekend apart, a time for reflection, study, and fellowship.  Your food was good, really good.

We shared from our hearts giving thanks for your spirit movement during the weekend.  While in the present we got in touch with the past so we could move forward in the future.  All this was your work, a celebrated work of the Living God.

Thank you,
Heavenly Father,
for gifts
of your spirit.
Thank you
for special places
where holy moments
can take place.
Thank you
for your
living spirit
that touches us deeply.

Love, Andrea
