Dear God,

Throughout my day there are hidden moments, sacred, holy moments where you and I come together for sweet communion.  They are times when you quicken my mind to something invaluable, an insight, a pearl of wisdom, a hope, a special love or an unexpected peace.  In those prized times I realize that I realize that I realize you are God, you are here, you are with me.

It is positively true that you are with us at all times and places but there are times of heightened awareness where faith breathes deep and wide and stretches us beyond where we are to a growing deeper place.  It is like walking under a gentle waterfall on a hot, humid day.  We drink and every cell takes in refreshment, renewal and restoration.  It may last minutes, sometimes only seconds but it is the better part of the day because we meet and you fill my cup with the divine.

During such events I know love so deep that I can hardly take it in realizing how small I am and how big you are.  That love always touches my weak and weary parts, my wounds and my pain but it also widens my well of courage, strength and hope.  It gives me such joy that I am blessed again and again even in the remembering years later.

Thank you,

Blessed God,

for the 

divine joy

we share.

Thank you

for remembering me.

Thank you

for stretching me

to love others more.

Yours forever, Andrea
