Dear God,

Early this morning I walked into the living room, lighted the Christmas tree and the lights above the piano and mantle and I stepped into the glassed-in study.  I sat in the stillness and gazed upon the inner and outer Christmas lights.  In that quiet space, I felt I was in a sacred space, the altar inside my tiny room.  For a long time, I just sat and breathed in the air of faith.

What a beautiful time you and I spent together as I listened to your voice in the divine setting.  Peace and calm filled my soul.  I reflected upon the way simple things and spaces can become sacred realities.  Even as I think about it now, Christ was present.

You are holy,

O God,

and you

bring your holiness

into the

welcoming spaces

on earth.

My whole heart

is full

of love

for you.

Thank you

for the

second day

of Christmas.

Yours forever, Andrea
