Dear God,

I was grateful to be invited to join the celebration of my granddaughter's basketball banquet.  I so admire who she is and what she is about.  She is bright, compassionate, loving, sensitive and a really great ball player.  Awarded the MVP player of her team for the second year in a row, I was delighted to applaud her efforts and achievement.

But while I was celebrating with the team and family members, something as rich and wonderful happened where I was sitting.  My daughter had risen from her seat and moved closer where she could photograph what was happening on stage.  Her move left an empty seat between another grandchild and me.  At some point Charlie reached across the empty seat and took my hand holding it for several minutes.  Making that connection was every bit as cherished as what happened on stage.

O Lord, I recognize extraordinary moments are taking place every day.  Only when we are attentive to your spirit at work will we identify how ordinary becomes extraordinary in our daily lives.  Only then can we truly walk with you, anticipate your spirit movement and live lives of faith.

Holy, holy, holy

are your,

Lord God Almighty.

Thank you

for the

wondrous movement

of your spirit.

Thank you

for touching me today.

Love, Andrea
