Growing Closer

The stars shone brightly as we drove to my house after a big day of activities. We had spent the evening singing with some friends of ours and before we left had had a very thoughtful conversation about church issues. As we drove home he spontaneously suggested that we pray. I always love the random prayer times. He offered his hand and we prayed nearly all the way home. My heart was full, so much to think about and yet God wanted me to trust. As the prayer ended he continued to hold my hand, the very first time we had done it outside of prayer. I was delighted. He was such a gentleman and his love for God drew me even closer.
