Dear God,

There is beauty in small things.  Sometimes we look for big things to wow us.  But really, it is the simple, small things that awe us instead.  

The psalmist speaks of streams and pastures, simple things of creation.  As we sit by a stream or a pasture, our eyes can fall on wondrous beauty, the way the water makes its way over smooth stones or wildflowers growing at the edge of a field.  As we listen and look, we have the amazing opportunity to meet you in our midst.  Beauty is not just what is around us but also inside us.

Today I was drawn to the Autumn leaves and the rain falling to the ground.  In its simplicity I sensed peace and joy and gratitude.

Holy God,

Designer of Creation,

thank you

for the gift

of small things.

Keep our focus

on simple things.

Let gratitude

well up

within us.

Love, Andrea
