Dear God,

I received the most wonderful note from a grandson who has struggled for a long time.  At the hour of his 30th birthday he wrote telling me he had turned his life around and was doing great.  Tears slipped down my cheeks when I thought of how he finally rose up and claimed a new life.

It is not easy to change, to surrender old, ugly habits and to grab hold of something fresh, new and life-giving.  Sometimes we wait a very long time before we trust you to help us.  But when we do, when we breathe in the air of change and find goodness, beauty and confidence, we know that we know that we know you have been the power under our wings.

Eternal and Compassionate God,

thank you

for rescuing

my sweet grandson.

Thank you

for offering him

a new road,

one that leads

somewhere new.

Thank you

for your

many gifts!

Love, Andrea
