Dear God, 

The birds are singing, the tree limbs are barely moving to the gentle breeze and my feelings of gratitude are full.  Even when life is not the way we want it, still nature, the creation sings her song of love, creativity and joy.  When we open ourselves to what is taking place all around us, we can join her in praise.

Early morning is the best time for me to assess the joys of my life.  I need to do that especially when I am tense, angry or hurting.  Setting aside a little time for evaluation, I prioritize what is important and what is not.  Doing that in your company brings such blessing and hope.

As I make cherry marmalade for sale to support four mission causes and do daily chores today, I pray I will give praise to you all day long.  For you are God; there is no other like you Holy One.

Thank you

for blessings galore.

Thank you

for daily pause

to pray

and praise.

Thank you 

especially for

this time.

Yours, Andrea
