Dear God,

The power of memory!!!  Early this morning as I took my morning walk, I spotted a Lily of the Valley blossom.  I paused to take in the view and imagine the sweet scent.  At that moment I traveled back in time to our own yard when I was ten years old, sixty-five years ago.  That tiny flower took me from Kennebunk, Maine to Elwood, Indiana to our 100-year-old house to being a girl to saying a prayer to dwelling with you for a few moments.  Who could guess this morning's picture could take me so far, so wide and so deep!

Thank you,

O God,

for the beauty

and power

of memory.

Thank you

for taking me home,

way home,

all the way.

All praise

to you, Lord.

Love, Andrea
