Dear God,

Every Wednesday we search for faith, meaning and purpose.  We seek you in the midst of our lives.  We look for signs of your presence and we present our lives to you for examination, wisdom and mercy.

For thirty years we have sought your face, your love and your grace.  We have wanted to advance our spiritual understanding so we may live lives that model your way in the world.  Our covenant group of four has had staying power because we invested in you and one another.  Faith is our way of life and more than anything we want you at the center of our group life as well as our individual lives.

How many times have we witnessed miracles and healing?  How many times have we felt your challenge and correction?  How many times have we experienced your grace, compassion and insight?  So many, many times, O Lord, all because you are with us, speaking to us, inspiring us, laughing with us and crying with us, revitalizing us, reconstructing us and renewing us.  All this is your work, the work of grace, of faith and most of all, of love.

We are grateful
for your presence
in our lives,
Holy One.
You are our
All in All.
We thank you
for your
constant love
and gracious mercy.
We give ourselves
to you again
with exceeding gratitude.

Love, Andrea
