Dear God,

You constantly make yourself known to us, Holy Father.  This morning I found you as I stepped to the bedroom window before the sunrise and saw beautiful snow on the ground.  Everything looked pure and wonderful and all I could think about was you.

Across 76 years you have come to me during times of great joy and deep sadness.  You have spoken to me in the middle of the day and the middle of the night.  I have experienced your living presence in tiny moments through my granddaughter chasing after an unexpected chicken came roaming in our front yard, during a rainstorm when the sun and rainbow appeared in the sky at the same time and when I heard the happy sounds of birdsong just before sunrise on Easter morning.  These are just a few joyous moments when I knew that I knew that you were in my midst. I will never forget them.

Blessed God,

all praise

to you

for all

your gentle whisperings,

amazing appearances

and gracious challenges.

Only you

can touch

and inspire

the human mind,

heart and soul.

Thank you.

Love, Andrea
