Dear God,

"Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine. O what a foretaste of glory divine..." our choir sang in church this morning.  And as we sang it, visions of faith passed cross my mind.  It really is a song of testimony. We sang the song not only because it was the morning anthem but because when we are full to overflowing with gratitude, we just have to sing.

Every one in our choir has a story to tell, a story of assurance overcoming fear, of light overcoming darkness, of healing overcoming sickness, of hope overcoming doubt, and love overcoming evil. Some are stories of miracles, of nearly unbelievable events that changed the course of human lives, and healings of dire circumstances.  Some are quiet stories of faith in every day life.  Regardless what our story is, we feel a tight bond bringing us together and sealing us together as a community of love.

We sing because we simply cannot not sing!

Holy God,
you are God
there is none
like you.
You bless us
with faith,
love, and family.
You give us opportunity
to sing
to the world.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
