Letters to God

A few nights ago, our family watched the movie "Letters to God."  What an incredible movie!!!  It was a heart wrenching movie about a young boy dying of cancer who writes daily letters to God.  It was such a simple illustration of the importance and incredible effects that daily talks with God can have on an entire community!  If you have not seen the movie, I highly recommend it.  Although, grab your tissues because it is a movie that had us sobbing ( even the girls!).    While I know sometimes it is more fun to watch "happy" movies, take time to let the message of this movie grab hold of your heart!  And it got me thinking....   I might just write my own letter to God today and I know just what I want to thank Him for....   Enjoy!

Dear God,

I am not sure I have taken the time to truly thank you for the wonderful miracle that is growing inside my sister!  So many emotions flood my mind when I see her growing belly and really let the reality of the life growing inside her take an even tighter grip on my heart!  From the moment I heard her voice on that Mother's Day Sunday, I felt your power and miraclous hand at work!  While her journey has been one of heart aches, frustions, and fears, you have orchestrated her life perfectly.  You have guided her through each season of her life and I am overwhelmed with joy as I watch her blossom!  I am not sure she will ever grasp the impact that she has had on the lives of others, I know she will not be able to erase the many heart aches and pains along the way, but dear Lord as you continue to guide her life, may she always sense your love enourmously and will you please bless her ten fold for her strength and constant faith in you through each season of her life!  Thank you Lord for not only blessing me with a wonderful sister but also for the best friend I could ever have!  I can't wait to meet Adriana, she obviously has a special place in your heart! 

Love,

Amy
