Dear God,

Early this morning when the skies were black, I found one star brightly beaming.  I gazed upon it for a long time.  I didn't know what planet it was but for me it was the Star of Bethlehem.  I thought of shepherds discovering a shining star and desperately wanting to run toward it.  I felt warm as I breathed in the air of faith it prompted.  I thought of a manger, a mother and her baby.  I thought of Jesus.

Every Christmas Eve as far back as I can remember, inspiration has appeared persuading me to come closer to you.  It has been so many things but every one of them has touched my heart and stirred my soul.  While the world remains skeptical, my walls drop down making visible the divine.  Always, always I know where it comes from.  Glory to you, Lord.

Holy, holy, holy,

are you,

God Most High.

Thank you

for the star,

for faith

and calls

for nearness.

Thank you

for awe

and wonder.

Yours, Andrea
