Dear God,

Today an arborist told me we needed to cut down the tall blue spruce at the corner of our home.  That tree has been with us for more than 30 years.  However, a fungus has made it beyond help.  I love that tree.

Simple everyday things teach us lessons of faith.  Like Koheleth said in the book of Ecclesiastes, "There is a time and season for all things."  When we pay attention to all things around us, we can learn from you.

Good Teacher,

you intend

for us

to grow

in faith

and understanding.

You create moments

where you

teach us lessons.

Beloved, learn

from me,

you say.

When we listen,

truly listen,

you teach us.

Thank you.

Yours, Andrea
