Dear God,

There is evidence of your existence all around.  The air I breathe is borrowed oxygen created by your hands.  The love I receive from others is not something I can really define nor really create.  The exquisite beauty outdoors is not a scene I can fashion with my own hands.  The sun, stars and moon are only something I can enjoy, not in any way create.  All these are breathed into existence by your creative love.

Often, we take credit for all that is around us.  Yet, when we really get to the bottom line, we find we have little for which to boast for we do not have the creative imagination, divine power or agape love enough to do much of anything.  So, what we are left with is gratitude, for that we share partnership.  We can choose gratitude, giving thanks but real gratitude, a full thanksgiving inside is still one more gift from your hand.

Loving God,

thank you

for the earth,

her sun,

moon and stars.

Thank you

for daily gifts

which we take

for granted.

Thank you

for making 

yourself known.

Yours, Andrea
