Dear God,

What an amazing, beautiful thing it is to watch the dawning of a new day!   Quiet, reverent, holy, magnificent and wondrous, each word describes the miracle of a brand-new day!  Something happens inside me when I pause to witness the grand event.  I feel awestruck, humbled and loved as I enter the new day with you, God, my creator.  The fact that I am privileged to watch it brings me to my knees as if I was chosen to participate in creation's story.  And to think it happens every 24 hours!

I felt this way yesterday morning.  Although I could hear the washer and dryer doing their thing in the utility room, still I was blessed and inspired to stand alongside creation, to say I notice you, I love you, thank you.

Historically, as I come to the end of an "old" year, I always fall into a nostalgic look of appreciation, gratitude and praise.  I acknowledge all the days when creation's story was being retold every 24 hours and I am happy, so filled with quiet joy.  I breathe in the air, the air of faith and I am made full.

Holy, holy, holy

are you,

God Most High.

How can

I ever adequately

give thanks

for the gift

of creation?

Thank you

for each morning's

next chapter.

I love you.

Yours, Andrea
