My dearest God,

I never have to search far for you.  You are in front of me, behind me, beside me, above me, and below me. As I roam the world about me, I find you waiting.

Sundays are a powerful day for me.  Beginning with the thought of church, the gathering of hungry children, and ending with me crawling into a comfortable bed at night, I am full of gratitude for the constancy of your living presence.  Others may come and go.  Events may rock my day in one way or the other but your love remains constant.  I feel blessed, inspired to live life  in your spirit.

The call to walk with you affords me the opportunity to live with a spiritual awareness.  It allows me to discover you in the ordinary chapters of life.  It causes me to operate in faith that reframes life all day long.  I may see a lovely sunrise but that sunrise points me to you.  I may stumble into a hole; yet, that hole will direct me back to you.  Every event of the day has a word to say about you.

Thank you
for turning
my heart
and mind
to you,
Holy Father.
Thank you
for spiritual murmurings
that sing
the song
of faith.
May I
never take
for granted
that which is
divinely given.

Love always, Andrea
