Dear God,

I love the early morning silence, the only light coming from the Christmas tree next to me. The snow covering the ground just outside the window brings great delight to my soul.  Ah, my favorite season!

You have given me a true zest for life.  As each day unfolds, I look for signs of your spirit.  I am never disappointed.  It may be found in music, in a conversation, a picture, a scripture, an unexpected gesture of love or mercy, someone making a difference, or just an inner quiet where I hear your sweet voice of hope, comfort, encouragement, or joy.  No matter, the fact I know you are near is living faith and for that I am so, so grateful.

On this fourth day of the new year, I am still celebrating the wonders of your love.

Magnificent God,
how beautiful
is your spirit!
Thank you
for bringing
your many gifts
to your children,
to me.
Thank you
for faith
that makes
me aware
and then rejoices!
You are good,
dear God;
you are
so very good.

Love, Andrea
