Dear God,

I can't help it!  Yesterday I told you about the beautiful night skies.  I just want to say once again how marvelous "up" is.  This morning I crawled out of my sleeping bag while all was still dark.  I went to the bathroom and then walked back to our camp and started a rip-roaring fire.  As I sat there quiet in the still campground, I watched the flames dance in the dark and then I looked up and gazed at the white sparkling stars against the pitch-black night skies.  Over and over I whispered to you my prayers of gratitude.  As the night slowly gave way to the day I felt caught in the middle of wonderment.  How can I be so blessed?  I asked.  How can I be so blessed?

You are God;
there is none
like you.
Thank you
for eyes
to see,
ears to hear,
nose to smell,
mouth to taste
and fingers,
hands and arms
to touch.
Thank you
for every sense
with which
to praise you.

Love always, Andrea
