Dear God,

The sounds of love reach a weary, burdened heart.  Tonight, as I lay in bed, I listened to my daughter and her daughter, my granddaughter, laugh together. They made funny faces and then cracked up laughing.  So refreshing to the soul.

I remember their strained relationship several years ago when Sophie was a troubled teen.  She struggled and so did her momma.  They butted heads, fought and tried to make sense of an eating disorder and so many other issues.  I wondered if they would make it so all I did was love and pray, pray and love.

But tonight, on this night they laughed as mother and daughter, friend to friend.  Overcoming hardships, fears and sorrow, their relationship is solid and strong.  The sounds of love!

Loving God,

thank you

for the

sweet sound

of love.

Thank you

for my daughter,

her faith

and her strength.

Thank you

for my granddaughter,

for her fortitude

and ability

to overcome.

Love, Andrea
