Dear God,

It is true, darkness can turn to light, despair can turn to hope and sorrow can turn to joy.  I might not have believed that at 5:00 a.m. this morning but I certainly did at 8:00 a.m.  A moment of faith can change things!

This morning I was blue, upset by yesterday's events.  I read my devotions and felt the tug of both consolation and challenge.  I felt your urge to rise up, to trust and to lean on you.  About that time my covenant friends called and we held our weekly faith-filled conference call.  During that call something happened, a true spiritual moment when my whole spirit was lifted up out of the depths and into the gracious Light of the day.  It was truly a joyous moment when we all burst into laughter over something shared and we realized it had been a long, long time since we had laughed.  That laughter, well, it was holy, really holy laughter that buoyed us all up from our personal darknesses in which we have resided with national and international news keeping us all down.  But this morning your spirit broke through the hidden wall and we all broke forth into the light.

Holy, holy, holy

are you,

Sweet Lord of Heaven.

Thank you

for the

holy events

of today.

How glorious

to know

and anxious

all of us.

Bless you

for blessing us!

Yours, Andrea
