Dearest God,

You make hearts for stretching.  When we think we are full up, we discover there is still more room.  How can it be?

When I am invited to share in the lives of my grandchildren, I feel the stretch of my heart.  I think I cannot love them more, but a smile, a hug, a kindness pushes against the walls and my heart fills more.  They are growing up, starting to college, having families; I watch them and remember all the wonders of their childhood.  And I fill more and more and more.

Your love is like that, isn't it, O God?  Your love for your children is endless, infinite.  What is more is you give us the capacity to love you back more and more.  How can it be?

O Father,
thank you
for your
amazing gift
of love.
Thank you
for making us
with stretchy hearts.
We are blessed,
so very,
very blessed.

Love, Andrea
