Dear God,

They came, hugged one another and sat down at the dining room table.  With candles burning and hot food waiting to be eaten, I looked around the room and breathed a prayer of thanksgiving for this covenant group of 30 years.  Who knew you would circle a small group of people and make them lifelong spiritual friends?  Who knew they would marry and widen our circle?  Who knew you would reveal your grace-filled love every week as we sat in our homes, many miles from one another, and  talk by phone with silence, devotion, prayer, spiritual sharing and meditation?  Who knew?

Only you can make the impossible possible, the hopeless hope-filled and the lost found!  Only you.  Only you can make people friends of faith. 

Only you,
O God,
can make
the ordinary extraordinary.
Only you.
Only you.

Love, Andrea
