Dear God,

Time is flying by.  We hardly know where every day's minutes have gone for minutes become days and days become months and months become years.  Before we know it, a decade has come and gone. Some say they wish we could turn back the clock.  However, lives lived in the spirit with you work to savor each minute recognizing it is a gift.

 

Too often we treat a day like any other without appreciation, hope and wisdom.  It may seem dull and boring.  In reality no day is like that when we realize the wonderment of creation.  A sunrise is a daily miracle all full of color, its rays stretching out in all directions.  Watching it climb in the sky can restore a weary, worn soul.  Opening our ears to the sounds of birds singing, children playing and adults laughing can renew hope in possibility.  Anticipating a heightening of all our senses opens doors to see, taste, touch, hear and smell the wonders of life all around us.  Ultimately it is not the big things we desire that give us gifts of your spirit, it is the day-to-day small things that can wow us and give us new life.

Holy, holy, holy

are you,

God Most High.

Thank you

for today

and all 

its minutes.

Teach us

to be present

in the NOW

so we

do not miss

the gift

it is.

Yours, Andrea
