Dear God,

You didn't just make magnificent, tall, sturdy green trees, you placed exceptional color in each leaf on the tree.  At the right time they release their beauty.  In the spring tiny new buds appear blessing us.  In the summer we watch birds fly into the trees and then begin singing their bird songs, blessing us again.  Now in the fall the changing colors capture us and bless us yet again.  What can we say to such blessing?

Although daily you reveal new reasons to believe in you, the seasonal blessings still marvel speaking to the great Creator.  As I look out even in my own backyard, I see green, yellow, orange, brown, red, and colors in between and I know who painted them.

God of Great Blessing,
thank you
for your desire
to bless us.
Thank you
for grace
that is
poured out
not because
we deserve it
but because
you want to.
Fill us
with praise
to bless you
right back.

Love, Andrea
