Dearest God,

A beautiful day dawned with sunshine and blue skies. As I looked into the heavens, I knew it was yet another miracle.

When I got up it was dark. The moon was bright and to the left of my bedroom window. Later as I stood at the kitchen window I saw that it had moved to the right of my kitchen window. I stood and gazed for a bit at the wonder of it all. The moon was giving way to the sun who would follow.

Although I have lived thousands of days on this earth, I am still amazed at the wonder of your grace. There is purpose to the moon rising and moving and giving way to the sun. There is purpose to the sun shining and moving and giving way to the moon.

There is, indeed, a time and season for all things. Even a time of amazement.

Rise and fall,
rise and fall,
rise and fall,
your call,
your voice
calling earth,
its sun and moon,
its stars and clouds
to rise
and fall.
Gracious God,
I am grateful
to live
in the middle
of your creation.

Love, Andrea
