Dear God,

One of the most beautiful things you do for us, Living God, is give us memories that can be called up at any time.  Today was one of those times.

Today as I was dealing with my torn muscle pain, I remembered back 25 years ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Although it was quite an ordeal, what I recall most was your constant presence with me at the biopsy, diagnosis, surgery, painful recovery and blessed love that revealed itself in so many ways.  You whispered to me your loving kindness.  You grew my faith in unimaginable ways.  You deepened my trust in you.  You gave me the ability to survive and thrive.  You taught me many life lessons.

As I dealt with my pain today, I lived with my sweet memories of faith of the past and today too.

Loving God,

there are 

no gifts

greater than yours.

Thank you

for personal touches

that remind us

of your

living presence

and closeness.

My heart

is full

of gratitude.

Love, Andrea
