Dear God,

I don't know why the dogwood tree outside our second story study has spoken to me so much this year but it has.  Today when I looked outside, one of the blossoms looked like a butterfly.  When I think of butterflies, I think of new life, an opportunity for transformation and the beauty they provide.

You use what is at hand to speak to us, Lord.  You are always reaching out, engaging us in conversation.  When we pause and reflect, we can learn lessons of faith.  Sometimes you speak to the unhealed places in our lives.  Sometimes it is a pointed challenge to change and grow.  Sometimes you whisper peace to our chaos.  But always there is a word of hope, love or encouragement.

Keep us

in view,

dear God.

We want

your vision.

We want

your guidance.

We want

your help.

Love, Andrea
