Dear God,

More often than not, we are looking for big things to save us...a better job, more money, a bigger house.  Sometimes we get those things but usually not.  And while we were waiting for them, we missed many signs and opportunities of salvation.  It really is the little things.

Little things can wow, inspire and bless in ways big things often cannot.  Like this morning when I stepped into the dark study and saw the beaver moon, I awed, watched and murmured my prayer of thanksgiving.  Little things cause our heart, mind and soul to shift, to open and to breathe better.  They spread news of your living presence.  Who else is providing a magnificent moon and holding it in their hands for all to see?

When times are hard and hope seems to be slipping away, we can anticipate and watch for the little things.  For that moment, that minute or that day, we will know the salvific presence of God.  This is your message to us.

Holy God,

no one cares

like you.

No one

gifts like you.

Remind us

to wait

and watch

for the

special little things

that are

coming our way.

Thank you

for the

beaver moon

this morning.

Love, Andrea
