Dear God,

We can't live tomorrow today; neither can we live yesterday today.  Otherwise, we will forfeit the gifts of today.  When we jump too far ahead or attempt to live the past, we miss out.  

Only when we breathe in the air of today, anticipate its wondrous gifts and live in the present moment are we able to savor the present.  Each ticking second is precious filled with wondrous happenings. Breathing, walking, talking, sharing, serving, blessing, inspiring all require our full attention if we want to receive all this holy moment offers.

And so, in this current moment I sit here watching the candle flame dance before my eyes.  How beautiful that I got to see it!

Thank you,

Everlasting God,

for the gift

of the candle,

its flame

and its dance.

Thank you

for the wind

that moves it.

Thank you

for the blessing

before me

NOW.

Love, Andrea
