Dear God,

How beautiful it is to watch Spring unfold.  Today I worked eight hours on the spiritual path and in the woods.  As I felt the sun's warmth on my shoulders and felt the gentle breeze, I thought of you.  While I plucked weeds and gathered debris, I listened to your voice.  As I heard the birds sing, I breathed more deeply taking in the sweetness of creation.

Even though I was weary at day's end, I realized I had collected sunbeams, birdsongs, quiet meditations, images of the breeze rippling on the river and fine memories of your grace-filled presence.  One day of hard work can lead to countless gifts of your spirit.

Thank you

for the blessings

of today

that unfolded

with springtime.

Thank you

for awareness

of the 

unfolding gifts.

Thank you

for grace-filled moments

that come

when working

with you.

Love, Andrea
