Dear God,

This morning as I was awakening, I thought of picking cherries at an orchard in New Hampshire and strawberries at a local strawberry farm.  I thought of the storm door I needed to change with a screen.  I thought of getting out on the spiritual path to plant flowers, clear an area and drag bags of pebbles to the river's edge.  Then I stopped and thought of you.

As I circled my friends (authors of devotional books I am reading daily) I suddenly thought of all the reasons you are so important in my life.  I prayed giving thanks for waking up this morning, feeling better from the fatigue following Covid, seeing the beautiful trees, colorful flowers and growing bushes outside my windows, living in my 200-year-old home and being blessed by beloved family and friends.  I realized you make all these possible.

Thank you

for gifts

beyond my comprehension,

so many

at that.

Thank you

for the

first moments

of the day.

Thank you

for allowing me

to be part

of your life.

Love, Andrea
