Dear God,

Yesterday morning as I drove on the winding bypass, I noticed the sun rising behind the trees.  As shadows flickered I thought of how shadow and light often come together.  As I looked to the light I realized how easy it is to get focused on the shadow and miss the light altogether.  Too many times I get caught up in staring into the darkness instead of searching for the light.  I miss you every time.

Minutes later as I walked out of a store, nothing detracted me from looking into the light.  It was a fireball rising above the horizon.  I smiled thinking how beautiful the light really is.  I am glad I didn't miss it this time.

Let your
light shine,
O God;
keep it bright,
I pray.
Forgive me
when I
focus on
the darkness
and away
from you.
Remind me
how good
the light is.

Love, Andrea
