Dear God,

A drive to the church in the early morning hours revealed the sun rising on the ocean water.  The quiet silence gave opportunity to consider many blessings. 

Some days we just need some quiet silence.  We need to watch the morning sunrise.  We need to go out and count the blessings of hope, faith, and light.  It is amazing how much we can pick up as we go on a routine, ordinary drive.

So helpful were these moments on Saturday morning that I decided to return home for a CD player, chair, and a dancing skirt.  Within minutes I was back at the beach standing at the water's edge watching the sun rays dance on the water.  I could not imagine anything more beautiful.  As the music began your spirit moved within me and I joined the dance.

Dancing our prayers is a blessed way to let body, mind, and spirit praise you, our living God.  In the dance we feel our prayers lifting to heaven.  We feel the weight of burdens rise as well.  We feel light, airy, and free no matter who is around us.  We feel the joy of faith.

God of Many Blessings,
thank you
for the gift
of morning,
the freshness
of a
brand new day.
Thank you
for early
morning messages.
Thank you
for the dance.

Love, Andrea
