My dearest God,

Early this morning as I stirred in my bed, I welled up with gratitude not just for the many blessings in life like family, love, home, and health but rather for the awareness of your living presence.  All else pales compared to that.  It is the sense of love in the air, love that embraces, holds, challenges, reveals, and transforms.  When I see a sunrise, I think of you.  When I see a newborn baby, I think of you.  When I see springtime budding, I think of you.  When I awaken to a new day, I think of you.  When I see one person helping another, I think of you.  You are so very present in the world and today, I am grateful for the sacred awareness of you.

Holy God,
thank you
for who
you are
and what
you speak
in the cosmos.
Thank you
for the
countless ways
you remind us
of your
living presence.
Put a prayer
on our lips
so we
may praise you
always!

Love, Andrea
