Dear God,

Silence has called me once again to pause, wait, keep quiet, listen and give thanks.  As I indeed quiet myself before you, I always find you waiting for me.  I have to admit this is my favorite time with you.  What can be better?

 I find your divine presence filled with comfort, hope and peace.  There is always too a quiet joy.  I feel a quiet strength and calm, an inner serenity where I lay aside all troubling matters and focus instead on our divine relationship, you the Holy One and me, a broken human vessel.  This is precisely why we come together, you and I, to unite to glue pieces together, to find light in the darkness, hope in despair and peace in chaos.  We join to discover again the sacred quality of the ordinary, its power to heal and to celebrate the wondrous amazing grace you offer day in and day out.  This is such a time, right now, right here.

Holy God,

full of love

and mercy,

thank you

for this

very special time.

Thank you

for the beauty

of all

that you are.

Thank you

for being

a Spring-time God

in the winter

of my life.

Love, Andrea
