Dear God,

We gathered to share our truths, our confessions and our hopes.  In your presence on retreat we found you living and breathing within us.  We found open doors, comfort and guidance.  We drank in the joy that unfolded.  We celebrated with you and one another.

As we concluded with a living supper of joy, we offered up praise and thanksgiving for finally reuniting with one another after the long, agonizing months of the pandemic.  Covid had kept us away but now we were together again.

Holy and Living God,

thank you

for the gifts

of your

holy spirit.

Thank you

for your presence,

speaking, cajoling,

inspiring, helping

and holding.

We have 

been restored,

renewed and revitalized.

Love, Andrea
