Dear God,

How can we know you exist?  How can we be sure there is God?  How can we experience your living presence, not just stories we read about in the Bible?

I believe you reveal your presence every day.  As we become aware of the morning when we first open our eyes, our chest rises and falls with life-giving oxygen.  We recognize the fact that the darkness of night had turned to the light of day.  When we step out of bed and gaze upon pictures of loved ones on the dresser, we have to acknowledge love exists.  Each of these gives clues to the existence of a power greater than ourselves.

Early this morning as I walked downtown, my eyes fell on a saying etched into a brick near the Waterhouse. "There is always a way."  The quote stated.  When there are no visible ways, oftentimes faith  makes a way possible. Whoever paid for that brick thinks the impossible is possible and what makes something impossible into the possible is more than themselves.

I had no problem finding you today.

Loving God,

thank you

for signs

and wonders

all around us.

Thank you

for creation

and all

its marvel.

Thank you

for love

etched into

every stone.

Yours, Andrea
