Dear God,

Oh, to be like tree branches that move with the wind!  How I wish my faith could be like tree branches and move with your spirit!

So often you speak through nature reminding us about faith, trust, and courage.  When the first bit of green pushes up through the snow, I think of you and how you encourage us to trust you to help us rise through difficulties.  When I observe bare trees in winter, I think of how you teach us to dig deeper into the soil of faith so we can feed upon nutrients for spiritual growth.  When I gaze upon birds tugging at various items in the garden to build their nests, you remind us of the ability you give us to take care of our own needs.

You speak to us daily, teaching us about faith and our relationship to you and the world. 

Thank you,
God Most High,
for your
tender care.
Thank you
for daily reminders
of faith
and our need
to trust you.
Thank you
for kindnesses unexpected.

Love always, Andrea
