Dear God,

When our eyes and ears are open, we recognize gifts and blessings when they come.  When a fear lessens, I know you have blessed me with courage.  When I breathe a little easier, I know you have sent a gentle breeze of peace.  When I smile after a difficulty, I know you have gifted me with perseverance and hope.

Sometimes I pause and reflect upon such gifts.  I think back and remember how changes in my mood came as I opened myself to you.  I consider how faith played a miraculous role in my transformation.  I discover myself praying, trusting and leaning on you and I know you have been at work in my life.  Today was one such day.  Thank you.

Blessed are you,
God of Creation.
Thank you
for thinking
of us.
Thank you
for breathing life
into us.
Thank you
for every gift
and every blessing.
You are
a good
and gracious God!

Love always, Andrea
