Dear God,

Where can we go where you are not?  No where.  No place.  Wherever we go, you are already there.  I found this especially true during our retreat.

Our covenant group retreats twice a year.  We wait, watch and listen.  You never disappoint.  You spoke to us through the birds, flying, soaring and dining at the many bird feeders.  You spoke through the space called the Cedar Room.  You spoke through the music, the quiet and the various spiritual exercises.  You spoke in the storm and in the excessive heat.  You spoke in the stillness and the meals.  You spoke, yes, you spoke and we found our way to you.

Holy God,

thank you

for our retreat,

for our time together.

Thank you

for the delight,

the surprise

and the healing.

Thank you

for inviting us

to dwell

with you.

Yours, Andrea
