Dear God, 

A weed grew up in my flower garden until it now stands about 5' tall.  (I failed to work in that garden this year)  However, a bright, beautiful yellow flower now bobs in the breeze.  Its color against deep emerald green evergreen is such a delight on this Autumn day.

Although I am particularly moved by the scene just outside my kitchen window, I know there are many such scenes that catch our eye and remind us of creation's ongoing story.  I love your reminder of your living presence all around us in every space, time and season.

Soon winter winds will blow, everything will seem stark and bleak but I will remember the bobbing yellow flower and give thanks.

Holy and Loving God,

thank you

for the

vivid image

of your

living presence

in my garden today.

Thank you

for quiet reminders

and beautiful images.

Thank you

for touching

my life

this morning.

Love, Andrea
