Dear God,

I have said it so many times but I will say it again.  This magnificent springtime is giving me hope and new life as we continue to fight the dreaded plague of Covid-19.  I look at the birds and listen to their songs and hope comes to life in me.  I watch their joyful antics as they soar and play in my contemplative garden.  Their joy becomes my joy.  They bring peace to me and smiles as I dwell with them.  They take me to you, O Lord, to you.

I am grateful to all who lead me to you, whether nature, people or situations.  When I am directed to you, all that is flailing in me begins to pick up.  I can simply call on your name and find what I need.  I may have to do that several times a day but each time I breathe in your gift of peace.

Thank you,
Loving Creator,
for creating hope
in me.
Thank you
for joy
that comes
in knowing you
and being loved
by you.
Where else
can I find
such a
glorious gift?

Love always, Andrea
