Dear God,

A drive at evening time revealed the magnificence of your creation! I was already in my pjs after working several hours on the stairwell but my husband wanted to go for a ride so I said yes. After a brief stop at Dairy Queen, we started out on the winding road leading to the ocean. The quiet pink skies at sunset was the perfect backdrop for the gentle crashing waves. As we drove along Ocean Avenue taking in the sights and sounds of dusk, we gazed upon the rocky coast of Maine with beautiful New England landscapes of centuries old houses flocked with gorgeous summer flowers.

As the cool Maine breezes blew, I looked upon a scene every bit as beautiful. There we were, my husband and I, so much in love, so delighted to be together, so at peace with one another. At that moment I realized how you paint tranquility into our world. Although the cosmos at times appears in chaos, there are those prized moments when chaos is changed to quiet harmony and those with hopeful eyes see it, step inside and dwell.

Your hands
have created
an awe-inspiring world,
Great Master of the Universe.
As we
live and breathe,
signs of heaven appear
and we know
your glowing presence.
How can
we ever find
the words
to express
our deep appreciation?

Love, Andrea
