Dear God,

This morning I heard the alarm go off at 3:30 a.m. I rose from my sleeping bag on the floor and went around my home one last time before leaving for Maine.  Tears welled in my eyes as I remembered your living presence with me these last 14 days.  Although I did not get everything done, I had accomplished what needed doing before leaving.  I breathed a prayer, many prayers of thanksgiving.

When my granddaughter Gabrielle and I lifted off and climbed upward in the sky to 30,000 feet, I leaned over to watch outside the tiny plane window.  I saw us pass through dark clouds to an amazing sun rising, its rays reaching down to earth and outward to what seemed forever. I breathed in the joy of my faith and closed my eyes.

You are God
from everlasting
to everlasting.
No one
can compare
to you.
You are
the morning sun,
the first
radiant star
at night.
You are God
worthy of praise
and glory.
Alleluia!

Love, Andrea
