My dear God,

The magnificent artistry of the snowy morning led me directly to you.  As I quieted myself and sat in silence in my writing room looking out my wrap-around windows, I was filled with wonder, so thankful for your creation, its seasons, and the unique beauty of each one.  Winter is my favorite, snow my great delight.  I am like a child caught up in the wonder of both magic and mystery.

What a blessing it is to be drawn to you by creation!  This morning's scene teaches me to appreciate the gifts I possess, my sight, my appreciation, my faith, my imagination, and my love.  All these circle me 'round to you every time.

As I look at the way the limbs and branches hold last night's pure white snow I find myself just wanting to say to you, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Wondrous God,
thank you
for the
infinite number
of gifts
you give
to us.
You teach us
to anticipate
sights and sounds
of your coming.
Faith opens
the door
to our wonderment
and admiration.
I am
so full
of gratitude.

Love, Andrea
