Dear God,

There is something profound about arriving home.  Home, a supreme place of belonging, a sacred place, a place where peace, hope and joy reside.  When I drove into our driveway, I sensed all these.  I was glad to be home.

But when I hear the word "home," I think of so much more.  I think of you, for that is where my true home is, with you.  I told my covenant group, who will eventually lead my memorial service, to tell those gathered that I had to leave for home.  It seems appropriate and right.

Thank you

for your

warm welcome.

Thank you

for the invitation

to be

at home

with you.

Although my body

does not 

seem ready

to leave,

my heart,

mind and soul

are always ready.

Thank you,

Holy and Loving God.

Yours, Andrea
