Dear God,

Whenever we follow your will and take your hand, you lead us to places we could never imagine.  You walk us up mountains, across valleys, and seat us by the river.  There we eat, drink, enjoy the scenery, breathe in the pure air of your spirit, and build up courage to step into the future with faith and great resolve.

You are God; there is none like you.  Only you, Gracious God, care about our well being and our daily efforts in this thing called life.  You want our best and when our best does not happen in the way we hoped and prayed, then you are the well where we drink and think and go again.  You pick us up and lead us to the next watering hole where we assess, consider, reflect, strengthen ourselves, and move on.

When we recall all those times you lead us, all the times you healed us, all the times you gave us insights, all the times you fed us, and all the times you blessed us, we fall to our knees in grateful thanksgiving.  Only then can we truly count our blessings knowing whose hand they came from.

Thank you,
Blessed Lover of Our Souls,
thank you
for leading us.
Thank you
for counting us
your children.
Thank you
for blessing us
along the way.
We are yours
now and forever!

Love, Andrea
