Dear God,

What delight there is to awaken to your voice, to feel the breath of your Holy Spirit upon our face and to hear the angels singing!  To rise in the morning fresh recognizing how faith has held us in the night is to acknowledge your living presence in our midst.  There is so much joy in the morning!

Although the day was cold, the dirty snow was everywhere and the wind blew outside, I felt the warmth of your presence.  A smile spread across my face because I realized my blessings, of health, hope, faith, joy and gratitude. I crawled out of my warm bed and stood in the cold bedroom (no heat upstairs in my 200-year-old home) and sang.

You have taught me that our circumstances do not have to be perfect in order to see the blessings.  You have shown me how faith fills in the cracks.  You have reminded me to look in every crevice for signs and symbols of your Holy Spirit.  When I move myself onto your track, I see it, hear it, touch, taste and feel it.  Hallelujah!

Thank you,
Heavenly Father,
for a
good night's rest.
Thank you
for the beauty
of a new day.
Thank you
for faith
that gives me
the real picture.

Love, Andrea
