Dear God,

Your ways are greater than our own.  You surprise us with your grace leaving us with messages of eternity.

As I sat outdoors eating fresh fish from the restaurant, I smelled the sweet scent of jasmine.  Looking around and even walking to the fence, I could see no flowers anywhere.  A few days later in our home, I smelled fresh baked gingerbread, yet there was nothing in the oven.  What were these scents and where did they come from?  I concluded they were the sweetness of faith.

Your love extends beyond our own, O God.  For no reason outside of love, you bless and inspire us.  You let us know you are thinking of us.  You not only reveal yourself, you cast your warm light upon us reminding us of the wondrous relationship we share.  You give us gifts, divine gifts.

What can

we say

but thank you,

dear Father?

Your love

is deep

and wide.

You teach us

to be open

and receptive

to your love.

Thank you.

Love, Andrea
