Dear God,

"Mine eyes have seen your salvation."  Simeon of old said.  You blessed your servant Simeon because he was faithful to keep his eyes upon you; therefore, you blessed him with the savior.

So often we fail to keep our eyes on you and we miss salvation moments.  When we tune our ears to another channel, we do not hear your word.  When we clutter our minds with much less relevant things, thoughts of you get squeezed out.  When we do not prepare ourselves for your coming, we do not experience those incredible moments of faith.

However, when we are attuned to you, when we take the whole of our self and put it on alert, we are privy to some of the most spectacular moments of our lives.  We see, we hear, we feel, we touch, we think you!  Such blessing comes our way and we too are blessed with the savior.

Every time I have witnessed a salvific moment, I have been overwhelmed with the grace of the moment.  I have overflowed with joy and gladness.  I have been humbled by the awesome way you invited me in and shared with me your divine mysteries.  Those moments are the best moments in life.

Holy God,
thank you
for salvation,
for sacred moments
of faith.
Thank you
for making us aware
of the movement
of your spirit.
Thank you
for blessings
greater than
any other blessing
on earth.

Love always, Andrea
