Dear God,

I look out my study window and all is quiet.  The trees stand tall, full of changing color.  And I think of my creator.

You give us moments to pause in daily life, to look around and to see what you are doing.  In this quiet moment I watched as you turned the darkness of night into the light of day.  I watched as everything was black but over minutes your colors came into view.  I look and think of all that exists in the great silence of faith.  And I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

Today I have a full day of work, raking leaves, cleaning parts of the house and painting the master bedroom but through it all, I pray I will whisper sweet murmurs of appreciation for this beautiful fall day filled with possibilities of faith and love and devotion.

God of grace and glory,

thank you

for all

the benefits

of faith.

Thank you

for giving us

a deep well

of gratitude.

Thank you

for your kindness

and mercy,

your beauty

and compassion.

Keep prayers

of thanksgiving

on my lips

all day,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
