Dear God,

I don't know the name of the tree just outside our study windows.  I just know in the spring it gives delicate pink blossoms, in the summer a haven of branches for bird nesting and in the Autumn thousands of little red berries that robins, bluebirds, cardinals, blue jays and Carolina chickadees love to eat.  How wonderful to know you provide for the birds of the air.

But then you provide for your flock of humans too.  When we sit cozy in our homes on a cold, windy day, we know you provide shelter, the wind and the sunshine.  Such times are always exceptional times to offer gratitude and prayers of thanksgiving.  

Today is

that day,

Loving God,

a day

for me

to say

thank you.

Thank you

for every gift

I see

outside my window.

Thank you too

for mercy

for all things

that are 

not well

within us.

Love, Andrea
