Dear God,

Early this morning I clicked on a video of a high school choir singing Amazing Grace and I started to sing.  As I mopped the upstairs floors on my hands and knees, I sang the song again and again and again.  Before long I felt my soul swell with thanksgiving.  I probably sang it 15 times.  That's a lot of grace before breakfast.

I realized it doesn't take much to keep a soul on track when we turn to you first thing in the morning.  When we sing out the words of our faith, we are reinforcing the well of our faith.  We are strengthening the walls that sometimes begin to crumble and collapse when life hits hard and we have not tended to keeping our structure in good form.  But when we begin our day with you we are doing exactly what we need to do in order to have a solid well in which the fountain of your living water can constantly flow.

Thank you
for overwhelming me
with grace
this morning.
Thank you
for reminding me
of my responsibility
to keep
my well
in good shape
so your water
can stay fresh
and full.

Love always, Andrea
