Dear God,

How do I know you exist?  I taste.  I smell.  I touch.  I see.  I hear.  Today I closed my eyes and smelled a newly-plucked Honeycrisp apple.  I lit a cinnamon pumpkin candle.  I opened a can of pickled beets.  The scents and aromas always lead me to the divine, to you, Great God.

I love Autumn.  It has its own special way.  Trees full of ripe apples, bright orange pumpkins and vines stretching out and all sorts of colors of mums speak to me of the sacred.  Each one does its part to point to you, each one leads us to you, their creator and ours.

Fall, a wondrous time of God!

Bless you,
Holy God,
for all
the gifts
of your
loving, living presence.
How can
we possibly
thank you enough?
We lift you up
on high
and offer you
all our praise.

Love, Andrea
