Dear God,

This time, this moment is my favorite time of the day.  It is not quite 7:00 a.m. and it is still dark.  I look outside but I can't see anything except lighted houses.  What I know is the darkness will soon give way, the light will begin to peek through the trees and I will see outlines.  Then it will come, the light will come.

Every day I experience the wondrous gift of the new day.  I do not know how it will unfold; I just know it will.  What I also know is I am challenged to consider what I will do with the gift.  Will I give to the new day, bringing joy and hope to others?  Will I waste it in so many silly ways?  Will I revere it, give thanks and live glorifying you?  My decision, your gift, what will I do with today?

O God,

may my words

and actions

give hope

to others today.

May I 

live worthily

recognizing the value

of the

gift given.

May I

be a blessing

rather than

a curse,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
