Dear God,

This morning I read the most wonderful scripture.  It flooded my soul to overflowing with gratitude.  It was St. Paul writing to the people of Ephesus.  

                    "May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.

                    And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should,

                    how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is."

Only someone who has known this kind of love can write about it.  Although I am small, a little bit of nothing really, I know this love.  Several times I have been splashed, sprinkled, rained on, immersed in and flooded with your love.  Although I have done nothing to deserve it, still it has come to me.  And every time I am grateful, so very, very grateful.

As I pondered this reading earlier, I smiled a great big smile just for you, my beloved God, just for you.  Thank you for love that knows no bounds.

Praise to you,

Gracious and Loving God.

Thank you

for the

lovely gifts

of your spirit.

Thank you

for beginning

my day

with the word

made flesh.

Love, Andrea
