Dear God,

All was quiet as I rose from my bed this morning.  I rolled down the hallway on my walker, got a drink of water, and returned to the living room.  I slid over to the chair by the Christmas tree and felt the plug in on the rug, and I took it and plugged it in.  As I stepped around the altar holding the nativity scene, I simply asked the question, "Where are you, O Lord?"  Suddenly, I looked down and there on the lower branch a beautiful, round sparkling white bulb circled in silver glitter began to gently rock back and forth.  Nothing else was moving.  I got it.  The breath of your spirit was blowing upon the lovely ornament to speak a word of assurance to me.

Sometimes it is the little things that impact our lives.  When we look too far off with great expectations, we lose the opportunity to discover the small things that touch our soul.  This morning that bulb returned a bit of peace to me and I was grateful.

You are
the source
of all
good things, Lord.
You want
to stay close
to us.
You want
to touch
our lives
and inspire us.
You want us
to trust you
in all things.
When I
felt doubt
this morning,
I simply
asked my question
and you
answered me.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
