Dearest God,

Last night while I slept, the yellow, yellow and white and purple and yellow iris opened.  As I stepped into the study this morning and looked out upon the contemplative garden, I saw the amazing beauty just outside my window.  I was taken aback.  While I dozed, the iris heard your voice to open and they did.  How beautiful is your voice, your artistry and your creation.

Each and every day you do something more reminding us of your handiwork in the world.  You whisper to us, look out, look up, listen, taste and see.  Those with faith can hear your sweet voice and see the amazing wonders before us.

Even as I write, I gaze upon the iris dancing in the wind and I am happy, praising your name!

Thank you,
O God,
for all
the beauty
around us.
Thank you
for creation
who speaks volumes
about your
marvelous work
in our world.
Thank you
for the beauty
just outside
my window.

Love, Andrea
