Dear God,

You have made it possible for nature to speak to us.  Every season has a message.  Today as I was finishing my devotions, I noticed a dried-up leaf stuck in the study door.  As the wind blows, it dances all around but it is so caught that it cannot fall to the ground.

I know what it is like to be stuck.  All humans know the feeling of being stuck.  When we can't move backward or forward, we simply stay in place and flounder.  But unlike the dead leaf, we have the power to change our situation.  It is called trust.

More often than not, we know when it is time to let go.  We know when surrender is our answer but it is painful.  Even if we have painful memories that need to be released, we hang on because somewhere in the middle love is snagged.  Something is painful because love is involved.  Our only answer to our dilemma is to trust in you to help us release the pain and keep the love.

Thank you

for the 

little leaf

caught in 

the door.

I opened

the door

and let 

it go.

Please help me

let go too.

Yours, Andrea
