Dear God,

Today I felt so blessed by the winter cold and snow that I walked into the freezing study and wrote on the snowflake-etched windowpane, "Thank you, dear God.  Love, Andrea."  How wonderful to find new ways and new places to give praise.

Even in dark times, if we look deep and wide, we will find light.  It will shine in our darkness and remind us you are with us, in this moment, in this situation, in this difficulty, in this day and in this place.  When we gaze into that light and allow ourselves to dwell within it, it will give us hope and peace.  It may only last for a few seconds or minutes, but it may be enough for us to carry that light all day long.

Thank you,

dear God,

for heavenly moments

that speak

in ways

we can hear.

We so need

your word

and your light.

Be our light

every day.

Help us receive

your light

into us

so others

can find light

in us.

Yours every day, Andrea
