Dear God,

There is power in remembering.  When life seems lost or confusing, you invite us to remember.  Remember love.  Remember faith.  Remember joy.  When we return to memories of yesterday, we can find our way home once again.

The sweetest memories of those with you.  When I was paralyzed in my cancer diagnosis, you met me at the door of my fear.  You invited me in with you.  You showed me around in the dark.  You told me not to be afraid, to trust you.  You showed me the way to the light.  You brought me great joy.  That one memory has fed my soul on my occasions.

This week you are blessing me with extended family, family I have not seen for some time.  You are gathering them for us to be together.  There is joy in even waiting for the upcoming day!

Blessed are you,

Loving and Compassionate God,

you always know

our situation.

You reach out

to us

offering acceptance

and love.

You give us

your hand

and your heart.

Yours, Andrea
