Dearest God,

How sweet is holy communion with you!  After working for several hours just as the sun changed its trajectory, I sat down on a pile of tree grindings and looked out over the river.  The sun's rays on the water offered a marvelous, picturesque scene of reflection.  Spring colors of yellow, green and gray shone like any artist's watercolor painting.  Breathtaking!

As I sat gratitude filled my soul to overflowing.  Twelve years ago I had no idea the knotty, tangled woods would be cleared opening the way to the river.  As I gazed first up one end of the river and then the other, I felt a rush of great joy and I knew this was a dwelling place of the Lord.  I just listened in the silence and felt the gentle breeze of your spirit upon my skin.  In the quiet we dwelled...together.

Oh how
I love you,
Blessed God.
Thank you
for sweet communion.
Thank you
for our
dwelling place.
Thank you
for the
divine fountain
of love
that overflows.

Love always, Andrea
