Dear God,

Music...the sublime sounds of heaven.  Music has always touched my soul.  It digs deep and causes me to think, to reflect, to listen, to be quiet and to wait for a word, an insight, a hope or more.  It stirs up what is in my soul.  It cleanses, opens windows and doors and comes seeking my mind, heart and spirit.  It calls to me, quiets and refreshes.  I breathe in and find the air filled with you.

As I read my devotions this morning, one of my "circle of friends" talked about music.  While I read, I remembered supreme moments of faith, spirit and devotion.  I recalled the many times I danced at the ocean, the music moving me to praise and give thanks.  I remembered with sweet memory my granddaughter Stella, now calling herself Charlie, drawing with her feet and toes, making beautiful images in the sand.  Inspired by your spirit we did what came natural to us by faith.  Drawing and dancing...with the creator of the cosmos, aahh!

Bless you, Father,
for the gift
of music.
Thank you
for your
kind compassion.
Thank you
for inspiration
that comes
at the sound
of the
first note.

Love, Andrea
