Dearest God,

Is the reworking of a human much the same as doing a makeover for a new flower bed?  As we worked on the spiritual path, we had much to do.  We had to rake, pull weeds, dig up deep roots, clear away debris, edge and finally mulch.  In the end it was beautiful but oh, so much work.

Who else would care to remake us but you, O God and Loving Father?  You know where all our sins and flaws lay hidden covered by sometimes years of crud.  Yet, you spend time, compassion and love redoing us.  You desire to clean and clear us of years of debris because you know the treasure that is underneath.  You made us to be beautiful.  Only you can return us to our original beauty.

Thank you,

Gracious God,

for the gifts

of your spirit.

We are blessed

by your

loving hand.

Thank you

for remembering us,

for gently 

restoring us

and making us new.

We are grateful.

Love, Andrea
