Dear God,

Each morning as I sit with my circle of friends, devotional writers, I think how much more faith can possibly reside in the world.  All these faith-filled people tell their stories, of loss and hope, of tragedy and faith, of darkness and light, of doubt and insight and of chaos and peace.  As they speak through their writings, I breathe in their light, hope, wisdom, love and faith.  Sometimes I think I will burst!

I am exceedingly grateful to all who share their pilgrim journey.  They challenge me every time to rise up, to make up and to climb up, in other words, to move from where I am to where you are calling me to be.  Their honorable stories of transformation always point to you as their power, courage and strength.  They reveal what it means to be a light bearer, a hope giver and a peace carrier.  

Today as I count my blessings, I count each of them for the ways they inspire, help, guide, bless and move me.  

Thank you,

blessed God,

for the gift

of spiritual friends.

Thank you

for every gift

they offer.

Bless them,

O God,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
