Dear God,

Early each morning you fill me with reasons to praise you.  For the gifts of a good bed and a good night's rest, for the sun ready to burst forth into the room, for the cool, fresh air coming through our open window, for our home and for divine love that put me to sleep and woke me up this morning.  Even before I rose from my warm bed, you filled me with thoughts of you.  What can I do but murmur my heartfelt thanks, O God?

When we are open to you, when our hearts, minds and souls desire, long for you, we are blessed to receive you.  All day and all night, you give gifts of nature, people and experience.  You whisper your undying love to us and invite us into a deeper relationship.  We skip along throughout the day catching glimpses of your beauty and goodness.

Who would

not want

to offer up

prayers of thanksgiving,

O Lord?

For you provide

sustenance for

our day,

food for

our minds,

hearts and spirits.

You are God;

there is none

like you,

Loving God!

Yours, Andrea
