Dear God,

You inspire like no one else!  When you capture our attention, we are held by the magnificence of who you are and how you relate to your children.  There is no parent like you, none.

Daily I awaken to the soft, gentle voice of grace.  In my waking moments I see my blessings and breathe my prayers of thanksgiving even before rising.  There is something so sacred, so meaningful and so beautiful about revering God first thing in the morning.  That is because you are the first one I sense when first awakening, you, O Lord, are the first to greet me.  I am hardly even awake when I sense your glorious presence.

As I lay in my warm bed, I give thanks again and again.

Blessed are you,
Lord God,
blessed are you.
Thank you
for giving us
the capacity
of loving you.
Although we
cannot begin
to love you
like you
love us,
still our hearts
can beat
in sacred rhythm
with yours.
This is
the work
of your
loving spirit.
Thank you,
thank you,
thank you.

Love always, Andrea
