Dearest God,

There are some days all I want to do is praise you.  All during the Advent, Christmas and Epiphany season, I just wanted to lift my hands to heaven and offer you my deepest devotion and love.  Every day was a cause for celebration as I pulled out and put one more character in the manger, turned on the Christmas tree lights and watered it, the scent of Douglas Fire still blessing and placed gifts in Christmas bags I had created.  I loved hosting family and friends for little celebrations.  In all of these I found your presence, your loving presence in our midst.

It is by faith we know you, Lord.  It is by faith we find such joy.  It is by faith we know the light even in the midst of any darkness.  It is by faith the seasons of faith can be celebrated as if on mountaintops.

You are
to be praised,
O God.
You are worthy
of all
we can muster.
All glory
to you.

Love, Andrea
