Dear God,

I love the signs of new life.  Sitting at my kitchen window I watch as tiny sparrows tear at branches on the Japanese Willow tree and then carry their find to the beautiful bird house that stands tall in the flower garden my neighbor and I created.  I listen as one sings to the other and then flies home.  How beautiful to observe mom and dad working together to create a home for their baby birds.

The season of spring reminds us to prepare for our own rebirth.  It challenges us to make a fresh new home for you.  As we clear and clean the debris from our own souls, we too make space for the divine.  We have opportunity to rid ourselves of clutter created by busyness, too much stuff, and obstacles we have built.  As we toss winter blues for spring's sunshine, it is like making ourselves ready once again to meet our own creator.

Thank you
for the joy
of new beginnings.
Thank you
for sacred space
that calls
for renewal.
Thank you
for hope
for rebirth.

Love, Andrea
