Dear God,

I watched as the perky, red cardinal hid inside the cherry tree just outside my study window.  As I watched him hop from branch to branch, I reflected upon the creative changes the tree has experienced over the last year.  I remember her very bare branches last winter but also the spring day when the first green showed through.  Then there were the pink blossoms and the fullness of green leaves as the branches grew.  Today as I look, I see where small, red berries have replaced those exquisite flowers.  The newest visitor to the tree has much to celebrate as he pecks at the scrumptious delights.

Only you, Creator God, have the imagination, creative spirit and unfathomable power to create a tree that produces flowers and berries.  Only you desire to feed all your creatures.  Only you put forth such love into the universe.  Only you.

Thank you,

Holy God,

for all

your loving work.

Thank you

for the birds

and the delight

they give.

Thank you

for the

special time

I spent

with the birds

and you.

Love, Andrea
