Dear God,

A solitary bird sang.  I could not see the little creature but I heard his bird song over and over.  It seemed as if he was trying to get my attention so I just listened and appreciated his melodious offering.

Little surprise happenings occur around us all the time, many of them unnoticeable if our minds and hands are busy with other things.  They seek to bless us, a simple gesture, an unexpected kindness, a colorful sunset, an honest prayer, a hope expressed, a warm embrace, on and on they go every day.  When we tune ourselves to your coming, we are blessed to see you.

Come, Holy Spirit, come,
visit us
with your
living presence.
Cause us
to pause
and take in
the wonder
of your glory.
Make us
willing recipients
so we
may become
a surprise happening
for someone else.

Love always, Andrea
