Dear God,

You use creation, books, people, storms and chimes to speak to us.  When we espouse the notion that you do not exist, it is because we are not listening, we are not seeing or we are not using our senses to  be aware of your holy, living, loving presence in the world.

There is nothing like nature to speak of your glory all around us.  An early morning sunrise can say, "Good morning, would you like to spend the day with me?"  A book can challenge our thinking about fear, forgiveness or even doubt.  A storm can call us to look at the storms within our own soul and see how with faith the storm can pass and leave us with peace.  Chimes, oh yes the sound of angels can calm anxiety and remind us we are not alone.  Every day things speaking every day faith.

Merciful God,
you speak
to us
every day.
You remind us
to listen
and to
look all
around us.
You are waiting
to be seen,
heard and experienced.
Forgive us
when we
throw away
our days
on nothing.

Love, Andrea
