Dear God,

For more than a decade you have been calling me to create a spiritual path in the woods.  With the occasional help of some friends, I have worked in the dirt.  This morning was no different.  I looked over at the edge of the area near the river.  Your still small voice whispered this was the last area to clear, clean and beautify.  With my trusty pruners, I cut, pulled and carried limbs, debris and branches.  When I became tired, I put down my tools and sat down in a weathered Adirondack chair.  That was when I looked over at the area my friend and I had worked on and for the first time, I could see my neighbor's woods and the beautiful light shining deep through the branches.  Always before all I could see was the invasive plants, vines and bushes.  What a beautiful sight it was.

What I learned this morning was how important it is to wait on you, listen for your voice and then to act upon your invitation.  When I follow your lead, I discovered once again, I find the amazing gift just waiting to be revealed.

Thank you,

Amazing God,

for the gifts

of your spirit.

Thank you

for inviting me

into your

divine plan.

Thank you

for blessing me

once again.

Love, Andrea
