Dear God,

As I worked in the dirt all day today, I thought of how sweet faith is.  For I feel you in the gentle breeze.  I hear you in the birdsong.  I see you in laughing children, family play and generous neighbors.  I know you are in each and all of these gestures of love and I believe love comes from faith but also faith comes from love.

Every day is a good day to reflect upon your handiwork, your loving, living presence.  My faith gives me plenty of opportunity to dwell in the places I find you.  And that always leads me to joy and gratitude.  As St. Paul said, "Rejoice always, pray constantly and give thanks."  That's easy for me,
Kind God, that's easy.

Thank you
for the gift
of faith
that opens
eyes and ears
to your spirit.
Thank you
for joy
that comes
when we recognize
your presence
in the world.
I am blessed
by you,
O Lord,
so very blessed.

Love, Andrea
