Dear God,

Yesterday it didn't take long at church to scan the horizon for a divine sighting.  It was in my favorite hymn, Great is thy Faithfulness that I found you.  The line..."Morning by morning, new mercies I see" reached deeply into my soul as I thought of every moment with you as a new mercy.

How can we possibly miss signs and sounds of your living presence?  Are we blind, deaf?  Lazy, perhaps, or do we just not want to admit you are the great reality in the cosmos and not we ourselves.  What do we gain by dismissing daily blessings?

As I closed my eyes singing from memory I recalled your faithfulness again and again and again.  Still do.

Most Gracious God,
thank you
for rising up
in our consciousness
and allowing us
to see
and hear
the wonders
of eternity.
How blessed
we are.

Love always, Andrea
