Dear God,

I am overwhelmed by your merciful love that surrounds us, holds us and blesses us.  As I rested today after driving over a thousand miles in 36 hours, I thought of you, gave thanks for traveling mercies and breathed in your spirit as arthritis pain and exhaustion threatened to darken my mood.  I knew I was in your presence as you slowly healed my weary body.

I don't know what it is that I love more about faith.  Is it the unconditional love that makes it real?  Is it grace that knows our flaws and yet blesses anyway?  Is it the vision that we see that encompasses more than we see at first look?  Is it the healings, miracles, guidance, comfort, insight, wisdom or mercy that is woven into it? Or is it the relationship that is built on trust and hope?

Who can

doubt you,

O Lord?

As I 

reflect upon

your gracious compassion,

I am moved

to tears

and thanksgiving

and praise.

All that

is good

comes from you.

Thank you

for blessing me

with your presence today.

Love always, Andrea
