Dear God,

I look outside my study window and I see only darkness but I know by faith the light will come.  The sun will rise.  The sky will be blue or gray and clouds will appear.  By nightfall the moon will shine and stars will twinkle.  I know all this will take place.

It is out of this faith that hope and peace and joy are born.  When rough times come and they always do, all seems dark and bleak.  At the same time we know that light will again appear giving warmth, hope and life.

When I think of dark occasions in my own life, I remember anxiety and fear and sometimes even hopelessness.  But I cannot think of these without remembering the light that followed, light that brought healing, wonder, encouragement, courage and faith.  And always, always, love.

You are God;

there is none

like you.

Thank you,

Holy Father,

for your light

and your love.

With all

that I am,

I praise you.

Yours, Andrea
