Dearest God,

We had not seen them in almost 25 years.  When we did we literally fell into each other's arms.

Six months ago a few of us cousins joined together at my cousin's home in Tipton.  We talked and shared together family memories.  My cousin lamented the fact that she had not seen her two sisters for years because of some kind of conflict.  I told her I would pray and so I did every day.  Two weeks ago Annie called me and told me through her daughter-in-law and niece, a gathering was planned at her home.  "Your prayers are coming true, Andy, won't you come and join us?"  She said.  "Oh my gosh, absolutely I will be there."  I replied.

Just as we were getting ready to leave after a five-hour stay, one of the sister's told me how she had longed to be with her "missing" sisters but could never figure out why they didn't get together.  Four sisters with longing for each other at the right time in the right place came together because you drew them together after so long and what a reunion it was!  It was your work, Lord, your work.

Thank you,
Blessed God,
for the gift
of family.
Thank you
for bringing us together.
We are blessed...again.

Love, Andy
