Dear God,

How grateful I am to continue the Easter celebration.  As you touch my life and I watch the ways you are inspiring so many more, I realize once again resurrection is not just a one-day event.  New life is occurring all the time!

As I sat in church with my husband and five grandchildren, you brought to mind other moments of rebirth, many, perhaps even most, unexpected.  You simply gave new birth and like a newborn baby we could smell the scent and feel the purity of the many gifts new life brings.

As I count my blessings, I acknowledge you at the top.  No one is a greater blessing than you, Loving God.

Thank you
for blessings
of new birth.
Thank you
for the death
of the old
that keeps us
bound in chains.
Thank you
for grace
that is
ever fresh!

Love, Andrea
