Dear God,

It is canning season.  In a little while I will drive to a local farm and pick green beans, beets and carrots.  I will bring them home, wash, cut and prepare the vegetables for canning.  At the end of the day I will have delicious jars of purple, green and orange goodies that I will open on a cold, wintry day.  I will remember today and give thanks for Bill and Anna whose farm provides little miracles from seeds to full jars.   

I love the whole process of home canning because it is as close to working a miracle as any miracle from heaven.  Who could imagine how a tiny seed could become a gift from heaven on a snowy day?  Working in the dirt and working in the kitchen makes me feel like a close partner with you in creation.  Why not?

Holy are you,

dearest God,

for every gift

you give.

I am

so blessed

to be part

of your

amazing creation.

Thank you

for everything!

Yours, Andrea
