Reflection

As the sunset colors fade away into the dark,
I sit and reflect on these past few days.
Of times of laughter, joy, and pain,
of silence, mystery, and a chance to pray
and of God's awesome presence breaking into hearts.

A seemingly endless hike to a hidden lake,
of struggles and courage brought to bare on the rock face.
Powerful moments of solitude and prayer,
brought all together with time to share,
our lives with one another, creation and our God.
Opening eyes to the possibility of a love
greater than we could have ever imagined.

O, Lord
Giver of Life and steadfast love.
Words fall short of the gratitude I feel,
For the chance to experience the power of Your love,
which showed itself powerfully real...
These past few days.
