Dearest, Dearest God,

I sit in my study, windows all around opening up to the most beautiful wintry scene!  Yesterday morning I watched as several varieties of birds romped and played in the contemplative garden just outside my window.  Does it get any better than this?

I look at the inches of snow that collected on the tree limbs, shrubs and plants and I marvel at the infinite number of unique snowflakes that make up the piles of snow.  I can't count that high or thank you long enough for each tiny creation of yours.  All I can do is take it in, smile, give thanks and blessings to you, listen for sounds of faith and breathe in the wonder of your great love!

Thank you
is not
a very
big word,
O God,
certainly not
big enough
to show
my gratitude
for the beauty
outside my windows.
But it is
all I have,
thank you,
Holy and Loving Creator.

Always yours, Andrea
