My dearest God,

Sometimes I am not aware that transformation is taking place. It may be hours or days before I suddenly realize that a metamorphosis has occurred. But tonight I watched it happen. I was even a willing participant in another's change.

The person awakened with a plan for the day; however, a phone call changed everything. And then another call came. The day was charged with emotion. A sense of helplessness lead to feelings of anger and resentment which advanced to blame and judgement. At day's end the litany of woes began. That's where you whispered a little challenge in my ear. DQ, Drama Queen, came to life mimicking the world's ills and ails from the perspective of the other. Before long singing, smiling, teasing, laughing and praying replaced the downward spiral. Transformation was complete!

You, O God,
change us,
even unwillingly
at times.
You offer
a better way,
a different perspective,
a new old approach
to life
and you
make us anew
once again.
How grateful
are we
who take
the challenge.

Love always, Andrea
