Dear God,

I am so thankful for your living presence in the world. Today as I worked the garden soil ridding it of the decaying plants and weeds, I sensed you near. Once again I realized creation's plan of birth and death. The garden gave birth in spring and has moved into its death cycle allowing the soil to rest and regenerate itself this winter.

As I consider the many facets of your presence in the world, I wonder if there is any tiny crack anywhere where you are not present. But then I reflect upon the darkest holes in creation and I image you there in the light.

As day gives way to the night and the night gives way to the day, I see your love at work.

Holy God,
Creator of the Cosmos,
I am full
of gratitude
to you.
Receive my love
and appreciation,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
