Dear God,

Why do some people come into our lives and stay while others move on?  What hand do you have in blessing us with people who lodge themselves in our souls and stay a lifetime?

Jan, Susan and Bill, my covenant group, carved a spot in my heart and took up residence nearly 30 years ago.  They are loving, steadfast, wise, helpful and compassionate.  They hold me accountable and challenge, bless and inspire me.  They expect me to grow and change, be transformed by your spirit and they guide me to take steps into the next chapter of my ongoing life. Their gentle nudges, honest words and kind ways keep me moving closer and closer to you in every area of my life.  I cannot imagine my life without them.

Thank you,

Holy, Eternal God,

for Susan,

Bill and Jan.

My, how

I love them.

Thank you

for bringing them

into my life

and convincing them

to stay.

I will forever

be grateful.

Yours, Andrea
