Dear God,

I write daily letters to you because I walk in a world where your living presence is very real.  I write because I frequently see what you do.  I write because I want to keep a record of your doings.  I write because faith is so important to me.  I write because I love you.

Each morning as I climb out of bed, my thoughts are already of you, what I will say to you but more importantly what you will say to me.  I long to sit with you, to declare your movement in human life, to tell your story from my teeny weeny vantage point, and to celebrate the wonders of faith in action.  I want to be silent, to listen, to hear your voice speaking.

I am blessed.

Gentle God,
thank you
for quiet moments
and lovely renderings
of our
time together.
Thank you
for love
that invites us in
and gives
us reason
to pause,
to reflect,
and to extol
the beauty
of your grace.

Love, Andrea
