Dear God,

Like every Wednesday morning our covenant group met this morning by conference call.  We gathered for silence, devotional meditation, prayer, spiritual sharing and prayer again.  In one hour we offer up our celebrations, troubles, prayer needs, questions, doubts, fears, one each week as we open our eyes, minds, hearts, spirits and ears to truly listen to you.  As we envision, hear and pray, you engage us sometimes in miraculous ways.  Insights, hopes, answers, challenges and peace come to us as we await your word to us.

This group has been a gift for over 30 years.  Week in and week out you gather with us.  You guide us to truth, freedom, surrender, hope, contemplation and joy.  We walk together in faith trusting you to challenge us in every way.  We always sense your living presence with us and we know love exists for each and all of us.  We are a group because you brought us together and made us a unique community of faith.  Bill, Jan, Susan and I are sisters and brother, a spiritual family made by your hands.  We are grateful, so very grateful.

Thank you

for making us

your own,

O Lord.

Thank you

for fashioning us

into a group.

It is

your presence

we seek,

long for.

We are

never disappointed.

You bless us;

help us 

bless you

right back.

Love, Andrea
