Dear God,

In the early hours this morning while the sky was still black, I heard several sirens begin to blare.  I didn't know whether they were police cars or fire engines.  I just knew something had happened to people who were now hurting.  I paused to pray for strangers.

Only you can connect strangers together, whether near or far.  You invite us to care for all your children, no matter who or where.  You want us to love one another.  Throughout the years I wonder how many prayed for my family and me, more than I can count, I am sure.  Thank you for giving me a chance today to return the favor.

Keep us

in touch

with each other,

O God.

We need

one another.

We all

have hurts

and wounds

that need tending.

Love, Andrea
