Dearest God,

I heard the birds singing. About two weeks ago as we talked I noticed the sudden return of birds singing the song of renewal, birth and growth. I listened to the symphony of sound as I recognized once again "the time and season for all things." Surely the time of spring is emerging.

There is a sweetness to life as it unfolds from one day to the next when we trust in you. The seasons of sorrow and joy blend together when trust and faith join hands. When we enlighten ourselves to your presence the darkness and light merge creating hope anew.

As I quietly watch and listen intently, I hear the sounds of eternity directing the cosmos.

Sing on,
O God,
the song
of heaven.
Keep us close
to you
so we
may be ready
for what
comes next.
Teach us
to trust you.

Always, Andrea
