Dearest God,

What friend is better than you?  Who loves more?  Who exceeds our expectations every time?

Life with you is humanity's greatest gift!  Every day is a blessing with you.  We awaken with you and fall asleep in your arms.  All day long you provide scene after scene of creation's best.  The sun, moon, and stars remind us of your loving care.

As we cry out to you in our distress, you hear our call.  Your living presence enters us as we breathe in your loving spirit.  Although we attempt to run from you from time to time, you do not let go.  You whisper your mercy in our ear.

Constantly you remind us that we are your children.  I am your child.  My neighbor is your child.  We are family much loved.

Good and Gracious God,
thank you
for your gifts
but most
of all
for faith
that reveals
the truth
that sets us free.

Love, Andrea
