Dear God,

How can so much beauty be contained in a small flower bulb? How is it possible a jonquil bulb knows when to begin the growing cycle?

Although I understand warm weather, rain and good soil go together to produce extraordinary color, I am still mystified when I see signs of life rising up. I watch and watch as the leaves show and then stand tall. Next when the stem appears and the tightly wrapped blossom unfurls, I am stopped in my tracks by the delicacy, majesty and artistry of each flower. Only a divine hand could conceive and construct something so wonderful.

Thank you,
Great God,
for not only
the daily essentials
but also
for the
luxuries you
furnish us.
Keep us grateful
for we know
life is fleeting
and everything
can be taken
in seconds.
Source of All Beauty,
thank you.

Love, Andrea
