Dear God,

My heart fills with gratitude overflowing when I witness your grace at work.  When I realize an unexpected gift, an exquisite surprise or a blessing that overwhelms someone, tears fill my eyes because I see the signs of your sacred presence.

Moments ago I watched an audition on America's Got Talent.  Two young teens sang The Prayer.  It was evident before the young people sang that the judges did not expect much if anything; yet, when they opened their mouths and sang the first notes, it was clear you had blessed them with amazing voices.  They received a standing ovation and I could not help but believe you were present there.  And so, I wept with joy singing my praise for the singing couple and for you, Great Gift Giver.

Holy, holy, holy

are you,

Loving Creator.

Thank you

for unexpected gifts.

Forgive us

when we fail

to see potential.

Thank you

for these teens.

May they

follow their dreams

and your gifts.

Love, Andrea
