Dear God,

I couldn't help myself. In the early morning as I walked along the narrow dirt path to the high bush blueberries, I broke into song.  "O Lord, our Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth.  O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.  O Lord, we praise your name.  O Lord, we magnify your name.  Prince of Peace, Mighty God, O Lord God Almighty."

There are just those moments when it is so clear how loving and powerful you are!  At those times all I want to do is sing out, to give praise and to express my gratitude for all the gifts.  While I picked the berries in the dappled light at Spiller Farm, I hummed and smiled as I filled my containers with the sweet berries I would quickly turn into jam when I returned home.  As I returned down the path to the farm stand, I wished everyone a beautiful day.

Holy are you,
God Almighty.
Thank you
for the berries,
the farm,
the light,
the sound
of cows mooing
and crows cawing.
What a
beautiful day
to sing
my prayers
of thanksgiving!

Love always, Andrea
