Dear God,

Does spreading good will make a difference?  Does standing in the middle of the woods singing a love song change anything?  Does offering signs of peace inspire?

I haven't researched Google for answers.  What I do know it makes a difference in me.  It makes me want to do more, say more, sing more.  When I touch a tree and thank her for her beauty, I believe we are helping each other.  When I sing back to the birds, I believe they know it.  When I am careful and reverent with all earthly creatures, I am saying I care about you.

The opposite is also true.  When I am ugly, mean-spirited or shout words of hatred, I spoil the air around me.  When I rundown someone or something, I am doing the same to myself.  I have the ability to tear down or build up.  Daily I have many choices to make whether I will carry this reality with me and function well or not.  I get the choice.

Holy God,

thank you

for making

a better me

when I operate

from goodness

rather than ugliness.

I want

to give Earth

and all

her creatures

the best 

of me,

not the worst.

Help me make

the world

a beautiful place

for all.

Yours, Andrea
