Dear God,

As we rose higher and higher over Indianapolis, I looked down from the airplane window to see the lights in the very early morning.  As they sparkled in white, red and green, I thought of your goodness, how you created this incredible ball of life and then invited us to be part of your cosmos.

When we awaken in the morning, go about our day and crawl back into bed at night, we often fail to reflect upon the many gifts of the day.  We think about what we have accomplished, whether it was a good day or bad.  We forget who awakened us in the early hours, who fed us, clothed us and watched over us all day long.  We puff ourselves up and fail to say thank you.

Let gratitude
be the
first word
of our day.
Help us remember
you are God
and we
are your children.
Teach us daily
to give thanks.

Love, Andrea
