Dearest God,

Ecclesiastes says there is a time and season for all things under heaven.  For me this is the season of reflection and gratitude.

Transitions have always been about looking back, considering the ways you have blessed my life, surrendering myself into your hands for the next move, and then stepping into the next chapter with you.  I do not want to forget your faithfulness, kindness, help, direction, and encouragement.  I want to pause, to give thanks, and to marvel in all that you are in human life.

We are readying to leave home in one place and return home in another.  Each time we move and resettle, I count my blessings.

You are God;
there is none
like you.
Thank you
for your gifts,
your many blessings.
I am
most grateful
to be counted
among your children.

Love, Andrea
