Dear God,

I vividly remember the invitation more than 50 years ago to kneel on the ugly black linoleum floor in my home and surrender my life into God's hand.  I wept and said yes.  The rest is history.  It was Rev. Billy Graham who gave that invitation at a crusade I was watching on television.

His death reminded me of the gift he gave me, the gift you gave me.  I was blessed that day and have been every day since.  No, every day is not easy.  Yet, God's mercy has been ever present.  As I count my blessings today, I count Rev. Graham as one of those.

Thank you,
Loving God,
for Billy Graham.
Thank you
for his invitation.
Thank you
for grace
that welcomes us in.

Love, Andrea
