Dear God,

I love to look at the pictures sitting on my desk.  Pictures of children, in-laws, grandchildren, aunts and friends, I realize how blessed I am.  When I think of each one, I think of memories with them, shared experiences and love offered.  I am so grateful for them all.

Looking at my loved ones inspires me to think of the one who loves most and best.  I think of you, Loving God for you are the author and creator of love.  I think of times when I have been unlovable but you have loved me anyway.  Your love gives me a sense of belonging but also it challenges me to be loving myself.  When times are tough, I rely on the fact that you are love, dear God, and your love will hold me and see me through every moment in life.  I am grateful for this gift too.

Compassionate God,

you are full

of love

because you 

are love.

Thank you

for the reminder today.

Although I

could never

out love you,

nevertheless, I

do love you.

Yours, Andrea
