Dear God,

"The Lord has done wonderful things for us," the psalmist remarked.  In my own mind I wondered what those wonderful things were.  Healings, miracles, helps, guidance, mercy, all wonderful things.

In a day when chaos reigns, when people are suffering, when we have done all we can do in our situation, perhaps we can sit back to consider what wonderful things you have done for us.  As I sit here writing, I can remember your countless acts of mercy to me and those I love.  I can recall miraculous happenings, those things only you could do.  I breathe in moments of hope that seemingly came out of nowhere.  When I move away from myself and think of others, I am able to see how your hand has moved.

When I reflect upon the pandemic, many wondrous things come to mind, people stepping up to bless, inspire, help, bless and comfort others, strangers.  Each day when new things, events and happenings were reported, I thought of you and the wonderful things you were doing through others.  Sometimes I wept.  Other days I gave thanks.  Always, I praised you.

Thank you, 

Blessed Lord,

for the

generous gifts

of your spirit.

Remind us

to remember

and give thanks.

We need you now

so much.

Love, Andrea
