Dear God,

Faith is meant to be lived in the deep.  In this world we often live in the shallows.  We may have a good time but the shallows can never offer what can be found in the depths.

Every morning when I sit with my "circle of friends" I travel to the deep.  I love going deeper, passing by the shallows to find deep rich soil.  There I hear the sound of angels singing, faith-filled people sharing their stories and feel the gentle breeze of your living spirit.  I come alive in the depths of faith.  I awaken to love, mercy and grace.  I feel my smile stretch across my face.  I see the twinkle in my eye.  I feel close to my savior, redeemer and friend.

Blessed are you,
Lord God of Advent.
Thank you
for this opportunity
to travel
on a journey
of faith.
Thank you
for the characters
of Advent
who invite me in
and allow me
to travel
with them
on great adventures.
Blessed are you
for all
your many gifts.

Love always, Andrea
