Dear God,

What amazing beauty unfolded before us this morning!  Our first time on the Mousam River in a kayak  provided so many sights and scenes of wildlife, blue skies, forest, water like silk and quiet solitude.  Every time the paddle moved us along there was more and more to enjoy and celebrate.  

As we paddled quietly, I couldn't help but pray and praise.  I just kept thinking how you created all things.  The beauty drew me to you, like a sanctuary transports us to all-things heaven.  I just kept murmuring how beautiful everything was.

I realized once again how nature cries out your living presence.  If our spirits are open, we will see, hear, taste, touch and hear you.  We will know your presence.  We will draw close and like nature itself, we too will declare your kingdom here on earth.

Blessed are you,

Almighty God.

Thank you

for the 

exquisite joy

that comes

in knowing you.

Thank you

for creation

and all

her many gifts.

Love, Andrea
