Dearest God,

If we wonder if you exist, we need look around us to find signs of your presence.  You are all around us.  We simply need eyes of faith to see.

Early this morning you took me to Spiller Farm, a wonderful farm 12 minutes away.  As I carried my sack looking for the rows of green beans, I watched a young mother and her three young daughters walk down the path between giant sunflowers and pink, purple and red zinnias.  What a picture, I thought.  I told the mom her children were like beautiful flowers among all the other flowers.  She smiled.

When I finally started in my row, sitting in the dirt as I moved up the row, I finally stood to stretch my back and as I did, I was staring into one of those sunflowers towering over me.  Just inches away I spoke, "Well, hello there sunflower.  You are beautiful!"  I stood and watched bees buzz as they collected on the large brown center.  As the breeze picked up and the long line of sunflowers danced, I thought of you.

Holy God,
you are
in nature,
families and
every scene
around us.
Help us
see you.
Thank you
for the gift today.

Love, Andrea
