Dear God,

Joy erupts inside when we see your hand at work!  When we pause to reflect and take a deep look, we see what you have done.  We know your living presence and we celebrate the wonders of faith that enable us to witness life at a spirit level.

These last two weeks I have viewed the lives of several people whose faith in you is a beautiful thing to observe.  One is 98 years old, a true prayer warrior praying for the beloved whether a stranger in a far land, a struggling church, or children at risk.  One will soon turn 50 who teaches at a public school now instead of a Christian school because she wants to help teens in trouble.  Another is 12 years old whose love and compassion for others is a sight to behold.  In every case you work in lives such as these in order to bless the world in the here and now.

Thank you,
Gracious God,
for being
a force
for good
in this world.
Thank you
for the faithful
who want
to bless others.
Thank you
for the beauty
of faith.

Love, Andrea
