Dear God,

Daily you give us miracles to witness.  When despair turns to hope, when darkness gives way to the light and when joy erupts out of sorrow, we know that we know that we are witness to miracles.

A few days ago I was despairing; I could not hang onto hope.  I prayed, I cried and I pleaded and then all of a sudden, a peace came over me.  I knew I could not create it so I knew that it was yet another miracle.

So often we ask for specific things from you, O God, but they do not always come to us.  However, the wonder of life will open to us in unexpected, surprising ways.  When a rainbow comes out of the storm, when the first buds of spring rise up and when a new baby is born, we know that miracles not only exist but also bless and inspire us because they reveal the divine into the world.  We are made participants in your mysterious creation.

Holy, holy, holy

are you,

Miracle God.

Thank you

for making us

participants in

your glorious cosmos.

Thank you

for every surprise!

Yours, Andrea
