Dearest God,

Through my devotional reading this morning, I heard once again the majesty, love and power of a compassionate, forgiving and blessing God.  Through the words of St. Paul, the psalmist, Richard Rohr, Henri Nouwen, Meister Eckhart, Tiya Miles and others, I heard only words of praise.  What you have done and are doing in human history is a call to fall on our knees in thanksgiving.

Even when I examine my own life, I have plenty of reason to lie prostrate before you!  Healings, unions, insights, moments of wisdom, helps, callings, challenges, whisperings, blessings, inspiration, all these and more have happened in my one small life.  I can point to many times when I stood at a precipice desperate, afraid and wanting; yet you came to me offering yourself to my paltry cries for help.  Over and over again you touched my life enabling me to rise from ashes, stand and finally to step forward in the journey of life.  You and only you have blessed me beyond words or comprehension!

Thank you,

Holy God,

for all

you are

and all

you do.

Thank you

for memory

that allows me

to recall,

relive and remember 

for all time

your wondrous deeds

and generous acts

of love.

Blessed are you!

All praise 

to you

now and forevermore!

Love, Andrea
