Dear God,

I stood on the patio and looked out over the lawn, woods and river.  I was amazed as I thought back on your invitation to revitalize the property.  As I reflected upon the woods I remember how menacing it was, threatening actually as I could see old pipes, barbed wire fence sticking out of the ground, trash, broken glass and so much more.  Now, it stuns with its peaceful quality.  Once again I murmured thanks for your creative handiwork.

You constantly remind us all things are possible.  Even the worst can be changed by your hand.  When I look at the ongoing transformation, I am challenged to be a partner in your ongoing transformation of my own being.  If you can do to me what you have done to the woods in bringing a sense of the holy, then I need to let go and let you do your work.

Loving God,
you want
so much
to transform
the world.
Only your
kind and compassionate hand
can do it.
Help us
let go
and let you.

Love always, Andrea
