Dear God,

I just watched a beautiful video with music about trees.  Tim and Elizabeth Janis took us on a walk through Autumn in the Rocky Mountains.  I stopped what I was doing and watched it, listening and immersing myself in the wonders of creation.

"Trees help us breathe," Elizabeth said.  Trees help us breathe, I thought to myself so I looked out the window and expressed gratitude to the trees just outside my study window.  When I feel anxious, afraid or angry I have to remind myself to breathe.  Now, all I need to do is lay eyes on a tree and I will know I am not trying to breathe alone.  The amazing trees just feet away are helping me!

Lord God,

thank you

for every surprise

that comes

our way.

You have designed

the trees

to give us breath.

And not

just breath,

but divine breath,

the air

from yourself.

Thank you,

Loving God.

Yours, Andrea
