Dear God,

Finally, a day I have been looking forward to, the beginning of a 3-day campout in Brown County.  As I drag out tents, sleeping bags, and pots, pans and dishes, I am filled with anticipation to sit in the woods watching the gentle breeze blow, the leaves turn color and the smoke rise from the early morning campfire.  In all this I find you.

It is when you are creating I see you best!  When life is moving however slow, I see your hand directing creation.  And to have no distractions, no work to do, no responsibility aside from cooking over the fire or people to take care of, it gives me time to sit in gratitude, to quietly and simply give thanks, to sing a song of thankfulness and to raise in hands to the heaven allowing my whole being to express my appreciation for all you do.

Thank you,
Creator God,
for the majesty
of your handiwork.
Thank you
for all
you do
to bring joy
to weary souls.
Thank you
for nature
and all
she provides.

Love always, Andrea
