Dear God,

My cousin Jim flew in today.  From Florida, I rarely see him, but you made provision so that Jim could come for our family reunion.  What a gift.

As we sat and talked for a long time, we remembered together childhood memories, crazy adventures and family secrets.  We shared from the depths and I thought of what a gift it is to not have to cover over or hide or simply fudge the truth.  We just spoke it and understood in love.  

Thank you,

O God,

for the gift

of family.

Thank you

for the truth

that sets us free.

Thank you

for your compassion

and for tending

to our needs.

Love, Andrea
