Dear God,

My cup overflows!  When I think of all the time I had with family while home, I just smile, hum and offer up my prayers of thanksgiving.

Why would teenagers give me the time of day?  Why would they want to share precious moments with their 72-year-old grandmother?  Why would they sit down with me?  Well, it is because you created love, love of the holy, sacred kind.  You ensured each one would receive a portion of your love.  You wove it into our DNA long, long ago.  We cry out when we slip into the world.  Perhaps it is our first plea for love or maybe an acknowledgement that love existed and now will be shared.  Whatever love is, it changes us, blesses us, smiles in us, makes us new and joy overflows.

Thank you,
Holy God,
for the gift
of love
and family
and willing teens
who share
their life
and love
with us.
Thank you
for making us
for each other.
Thank you
for the
divine heart
that beats
inside us all.

Love always, Andrea
