Dear God,

Every day you teach me something new or remind me of something forgotten.  The lessons of life are always before me.  All I have to do is pay attention.

Nature is a powerful voice for you.  I watch everything come up in your time.  As you bring warm weather, the trees, plants, and flowers take the cue.  Before long they are changed.  In the fall they will change again.  In winter too.

Today as I edged the garden, I cut into the grass and then took the cutting and shook the dirt off the roots.  I thought of how firmly the grass is rooted into the soil.  The more firmly the beautiful green is rooted, the more difficult it is to cut and lift it.

I realize that when we wait for your time and then do whatever is called for, we too can be a beautiful display of your affection.  When our roots are deeply embedded into sacred ground, it will always be difficult to have someone or something uproot them.

Thank you
for today's lessons.
Keep me alert
to new lessons.
Daily remind me
to stay attuned
so that
I too
will follow
your leading
and grow
my roots deeper
in you.

Love, Andrea
