Dearest God,

What a magnificent view outside my study window yesterday morning when thousands of snow flakes were falling right in front of my eyes.  What is incredible was every flake was unique, each one different than all the others.  There were no duplicates, no fake replicas, and no common ordinary white models.  And to imagine...I was privileged to view them.

Sometimes I forget how unique your creation is.  I forget how rare each snow flake, cloud, and rainbow is.  I forget how sui generis each human is made.  I forget to celebrate your astonishing achievements.  After all, there would be no creation, no cosmos, and no collective community without you.  Forgive me, Great Creator, please forgive me.

Thank you for the morning blessing, for reminding me of your creative work, and for allowing me the joy of witnessing your spectacular grace.

Blessed God,
thank you
for unexpected surprises.
Thank you
for reminders
that direct us
to consider
what we
already know
to be true.
Thank you
for faith
that raises
our eyes,
our faith,
our devotion,
and our appreciation.

Love, Andrea
