Dearest God,

How good you are! How kind and generous! How powerful and loving!

I listened to myself laugh, I mean really laugh. I got tickled at myself for laughing so hard. It took some years to find my deep laughter that had gone underground during turbulent soul weather. Today I realized you had returned my laughter back to me.

I am convinced that all the resources we need for meaningful human living are within us. Maybe they are only undeveloped seeds; however, with the right kind of help, guidance, encouragement and support the seeds will grow and mature. I have watched withering seeds finally take root and produce the fruits of the spirit. It all happens because each seed has a bit of you in it.

Thank you,
Loving God,
for seeds
of faith
that help
the soul
to find
its well
of plenty.
You are all
we need,
dear God,
because I believe
you have planted
a garden
of abundance
inside ourselves.
My well
of gratitude
is overflowing.

Love, Andrea
