Dearest God,

As I began to stir early this morning, you placed a simple prayer on my lips. "O Lord, thank you that I am not grieving today on my 26th wedding anniversary but rather celebrating your miracle that brought us back together."

There is so much that you do in this world that often is not recognized and certainly not acknowledged. Nature awakens producing splendid color no matter what the season. Babies are conceived and born. Faith transforms human hearts, minds, and souls. All this is your work.

As I went about my day, I was mindful of the infinite number of times you had touched my life. Although not seen with the naked eye, your mysterious spirit has unlocked doors, cracked safes, filled cracks, strengthened roots, and built foundations for me. When my life spiraled out of control for whatever reason you were the first to sit with me, to speak your comforting hope, and to shine your light on a path to freedom. Who else has the power to do such?

All Powerful and Living God,
all praise
and glory
is due you.
Thank you
for your
loving spirit
that gives
and keeps giving.
Remind me
to constantly
give thanks.

Love, Andrea
