Dearest God,

You can make any ground holy.  The most terrible place on the face of the earth can become holy ground by your power of love.

How well I remember being in Garbage City in the heart of Cairo, Egypt.  I could not imagine a worse place until I stepped out of the car and witnessed beautiful smiles on young, brown boys and girls with their hands outstretched to shake our hands.  For an hour I could hardly speak as leaders of the Coptic Church described their ministries and programs there.  I kept thinking this is holy ground with holy people.

So often we forget your power to change.  We forget what you do and why you do it.  We forget the power of your love.

This morning as I sit here writing, I am remembering many places of holy ground, ground made holy by your hands, your power and your love.  And there are many, so very, very many.

Bless you,
God of Power and Love.
Thank you
for all
your have done
to change us.
Thank you
for all
holy ground.
Thank you
for faith
that helps us
see and
experience it.
How you
bless us!

Love always, Andrea
