Dear God,

How powerful nature's voice is!  As she changes her seasons yet again, I hear her crying out, "How great is our God!"  As a recipient of that message, I too am inspired to sing your praise.

I can't help but get caught up in autumn's beauty.  As I sit still and watch the leaves change from green to every hue of orange, red, and gold, my insides feel the warmth of your love.  If you did not wish to make a statement, every leaf would be living green and then dead brown but not you, Living God, you wanted us to take notice, to look, to listen, and to respond to your call to beauty and goodness.

As I breathe in your many gifts, my heart fills up with gratitude and thanksgiving.

Thank you,
Loving God,
for blessing us
one more time.
Thank you
for the beauty
all around.
Thank you
for pricking
my insides
to pay attention,
to be aware
of your handiwork.

Love, Andrea
