Dearest God,

The blessings came rolling out of me as I lay in bed praying.  In the darkness as I thought of you, the blessings of recent weeks came forth like shotgun fire.  A bulleted page of beautiful gifts, I was warmed to think of just how many presents you had given me.

In the stillness I both spoke and listened as you directed me to the joy room of my heart.  There you showed me your wondrous display of grace.  You reminded me of the countless new beginnings and connections you had provided.  You recalled to my mind the smiles on people's faces in my own home over the course of the last month.  I heard eternity's song of joy blessing and filling me.  Again you showed me how faith opens doors to wondrous opportunities of heaven's best.

As I lay there giving thanks, I thought how beautiful it is to have you so deeply in my life.

Let me
give you
loving praise,
O God;
let me share
my blessings back
with you.
Let my joy
bless you too,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
