Dear God,

Why have I received so many kindnesses from you?  Why do I spiritually see below the surface of daily living?  Why have you given me visions, ecstatic moments and great doses of mercy?  I do not understand.

I am a poor example of a beloved child.  I fall prey to sinning like swearing, thinking ugly thoughts and not doing what you want.  I fail to be kind sometimes.  I get exasperated, frustrated and irritated.  I turn away at moments when you want me to move ahead.  I fall asleep while praying.  Do I need to go on?  

I am nothing special, Lord.  So many others are better than me.  They love more, give more and serve more.  Yet, you bless me beyond comprehension.  I am bewildered by your immense grace in my life.

Holy God,

blessed are you

for loving 

all your children.

Thank you

for unconditional love

and extreme mercy.

Thank you

for second chances

and third

and fourth

and more.

I am blessed,

so very much,

I am blessed

and it is

all because

of you.

Thank you.

Love, Andrea
