Dear God,

I watch intently as squirrels fill up on cracked hickory nuts on our patio.  They are preparing for what is to come, fall and then winter, for scarcity and cold.  I wonder what I need to fill me up as the seasons change once again.

Interestingly, I look to the trees for my answer.  I know they will dig their roots deeper into Earth's soil searching for nutrients and minerals.  I need to deepen my roots in you, O Lord, where I will find living water and spiritual sustenance.  For the long winter months, for gray days, cold and snow, I want to prepare myself for whatever you bring my way.

Holy and Loving God,

thank you

for providing 

for our

emotional and 

spiritual needs.

Teach us

to receive

the message

of fall

and winter.

Make us ready

for whatever comes.

Love, Andrea
