Dear God,

An ordinary event can become an extraordinary experience simply because you are with us.  Today I took my husband out for a Father's Day meal.  He chose a 2 lb. Maine lobster.  Over the course of an hour he ripped and tore, lifted sweet meat to his mouth as melted butter ran down his chin and closed his eyes savoring every morsel.

Oftentimes we receive life as an ordinary event.  Yet, when we consider your holy presence and your love, the ordinary becomes extraordinary.  All our senses are heightened and we are enabled to see, taste, touch, hear and smell more.  Our delight is increased and our gratitude added to our sacred moment.  As I observed my husband, I realized I was also watching you at work.  

Thank you,

Wondrous God,

for all

the gifts

of life.

Thank you

for your

loving power

that transforms.

Bless you,

O God,

for all

you do

for us.

Yours, Andrea
