Dear God,

You bind us together making us family.  When we are together we build our lives.  We make memories.  We share our stories.  We grow, fall deeper in love and make a life together.

For four days some of my favorite people in the world are gathered here together.  Because we have been connected for more than five decades we know how to sing the same song.  Some sing high and some low but we sing the same song.

I am amazed how healing our song can be.  When we hug hello after a period of time, we feel the need to sing and so we sing and sing and sing.

Blessed God,
thank you
for our song
when sung together
becomes your song.
Thank you
for the beauty
of a song
sung by family.
Thank you
for the blessing
of being together.

Love, Andrea
