Dear God,

There is music in the air.  There is a song in the heart.  There is a story tucked deep into every soul.  We carry the music, song and story everywhere we go.

Every year I look forward to the prized Advent weekend I plan for my grandchildren.  One of the reasons I love them so much is the music, song and story they bring with them.  Throughout the 72 hours we are together we share our music, song and story with one another.  We sing, laugh, pray, remember, and dwell together.

One of the beautiful gifts of this special time is the way we sing our song and write new music.  We offer our stories and write new ones.  We blend our lives together and make new every time. 

Holy God,
how I
thank you
for the
wondrous gifts
of your spirit.
Thank you
for my
beautiful grandchildren,
for their music,
songs and stories.
Thank you
for what
we have been
but also
for who
we are
becoming together.

Love, Andrea
