Dear God,

The day dawned bright and beautiful as we prepared to head east to Maine. We stopped at the end of the driveway to pray for safety for ourselves and others as we started our trek. It was a perfect day: cloudless blue sky, sunshine, and 72 degrees.

Throughout the day we gazed upon the majesty of your creation. Spring was breaking in everywhere, in the towns and cities, the countryside, hills, mountains and streams. Greens in many hues, pinks, and whites stole our attention as we drove through Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. By day's end, we had no traffic jams or stopped construction zones. At 8:01 p.m. we stopped at our favorite restaurant in Lewisburg pleading for entrance one minute past closing time. They were gracious allowing us to fill our many plates with food from the buffet. Sleeping in our favorite motel rounded out the perfect day as we gave thanks for all our blessings.

O God,
guide us always
to trust
in you.
Lead us
to praise
and thanksgiving.
Make our hearts
grateful for
your many gifts.

Love, Andrea
