Dear God,

Just outside my study window, the oriental cherry tree is budding tiny green leaves.  Right now the whole tree is gently dancing with the breeze.  It is like it is giving a message to trust and follow the lead of its creator.  By budding, it is saying yes to you.  

All the trees, flowers and shrubs are whispering the same message.  They are happy to hear your voice, to rise from their slumber and to dance in the wind.  Their witness gives way to the question to all of us too.  Will we say yes to you, will we rise up from our dark place and reach for the light?

Loving Creator,

you call

all of us

every day

to rise

and trust.

You give us

opportunity to

break out

of our cocoons

into the light

of day.

You whisper

to us

the promise

of new life.

Thank you.

Yours, Andrea
