Dear God,

I watch outside my porch window as squirrels wreak havoc in my shagbark hickory tree.  Hungry for luscious hickory nuts they knock down branches, leaves and nuts.  My patio is a wreck; yet, you are providing food for woodland animals.  I have to realize I am a partner in creation.

Every day you point to spiritual things.  You whisper spiritual truths.  You teach us the lessons of faith.  Today it is the squirrels who teach me about scarcity and abundance, provision and love as well as patience and understanding.

O God,
Teacher of All things,
thank you
for reminding me
of your goodness
and mercy.
Thank you
for your provision.
Thank you
for faith
that teaches.

Love, Andrea
