Dear God,

Tomorrow is Father's Day and I will be thinking of you.  Who is a better father to us than you, O Lord?  No one. 

You are present every moment of every day.  You bless and keep on blessing.  You challenge us and keep pushing us to transform ourselves.  You give us eternity's best tools to reshape, restore, and renew ourselves.  You sing a song of love daily.  You give us creation at its best no matter the day, week, month, season, or solstice.  You meet us in prayer, meditation, and silence.  You feed us from your own hand.  You cradle us when we hurt and nudge us when we fall away.  You greet us first thing in the morning, walk with us all day long, put us to bed at night, and then remain beside us while we sleep.  You celebrate with us when life is good and weep with us when we are down.  You cheer us on when we need to courageously move on.  You accept our confessions and offer us pardon.  Who can give us more?

Bless you,
Heavenly Father,
thank you
for all
your gifts.
Thank you
for your
living presence.
Thank you
for allowing us
to be
your children.

Love always, Andrea
