Dear God,

I watch as the squirrels scamper about the yard in search of nuts and other food for winter.  Once they find it they look for a place to "squirrel" it away.  Come winter they will return to the site and feast upon it.

Faith could be like that.  In good times where there is plenty of joy, peace and hope, we too can put our treasure in places to save for hard times.  After all, who doesn't need joy in sorrowful times, peace in chaos and hope in despair?  We can eat of the spiritual food to extrude strength, courage and resolve.  We can be renewed and restored for any situation that comes.  We can trust and give thanks to you for the gifts and for sustaining us in our hour of need.

Thank you,

Compassionate God,

for the gifts

of your spirit.

Thank you

for your provision.

Thank you

for keeping

faith alive.

Yours, Andrea
