Dear God,

How did it become April so fast?  What happened to January, February, and March?  The days slip by so quickly.  Some days it feels like there has been no time between rising and falling back into bed.

You hold time, Good Lord.  Daily you give us time to live our faith, to see the wonders of creation, to serve others, to love deeply, and to walk with your Holy Spirit living presence.  Each minute is precious.  In that minute there are a thousand images to see, so many sounds to hear, and much more to taste, smell, and touch.

Every minute is a prayer, O Lord, a prayer of respect, appreciation, and love.  As we breathe in the air of life, we accept the gift you give us.  As minutes become an hour and hours become a day, you fill us with yourself.  By day's end we have received the fullness of your love and mercy and another day is gone.

When we faithfully live the life you give us, there is so much to be thankful for.  So much gratitude need fill us to the brim to give to you.  Although the days move swiftly by, we acknowledge you as the great time keeper and give thanks.

Creator God,
thank you
for time
and all
its many gifts.
Thank you
for your presence
all day long.
Thank you
for filling us
with you.

Love, Andrea
