Dear God,

What joy is coming to my soul at this very minute as I watch the darkness give way to the light. Moments ago it was really dark.  And now the outlines of the house next door and the shrubbery, flowers and trees are opening up in greater relief.  As I consider all this, it is as though one moment I lived in darkness and the next moment I live in the light.

I realize more and more how you offer us humans many ways in which to live life, how to see, how to open ourselves to life in the deep.  We can skid through life on surface living or we can choose to take a few steps into a deeper world where hope and faith and love are possible.  Simple things can tell us truths, give us resources and provide us with perspective that can make things new once again.  And oh my, how much we need these!

Thank you

for blessings

that touch us

in the depths

of our souls.

Thank you

for teaching us

every day.

Point us

to more,

better and

beautiful.

Yours forever, Andrea
