Dear God,

I have never played an autoharp before.  Yet, I was drawn to it yesterday as it lay on the coffee table in the cabin in a southern Indiana woods where my friend and I are staying.  As I went through the cards of music, I saw Amazing Grace and so I plucked it out on the hand made instrument.  After plucking just the first chord, I felt close to you, Lord.  Something happened between my fingers and my heart.

You offer so many ways to inspiration, to faith and hope and joy and peace.  In the simplest things you come to us, stay with us and speak to us.  For me I was enthralled in the holy moment alone with you.

Thank you

for the 

holy moment 

of contemplation,

Eternal God.

Thank you

for the cord

that keeps us 

close to you.

I am

so very grateful.

I plan

to repeat

that experience

moments from now

as I

hear your call

to take up

the harp

and play

my song

of praise

to you.

Love, Andrea
