Dear God,

During this winter season the ground looked hard and dead.  No sound rumbled beneath the earth; yet, so much was happening that I did not see.

At some point a few days ago, tiny yellow, white and purple crocus broke through the ground in my flower garden.  I totally missed it.  It happened without my knowing.  I didn't hear the call of spring or the sound of breaking ground but it occurred nonetheless.  Wow!

Is there more I am missing, Lord?  Have I failed to hear you as you moved in my life? 

Give me
a listening ear,
O God.
Give me
a listening heart.
Give me
a listening mind
so I
may hear
and see you,
I pray.
Thank you
for the blessing
of the crocus.

Love, Andrea
