Thursday, 19 April 2007 - Songs, dances and smiles

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for songs, dances and smiles.

Earth, ourselves,
breathe and awaken,
leaves are stirring,
all things moving,
new day coming,
life renewing.
~Pawnee prayer

Our resident pair of robins sing merrily as they dig for worms in the garden. The picture-perfect daffodils dance, their golden crowns swaying with the slightest breeze. And, I am trying to smile as I wrestle with my continuing burdens: a heavy heart and an emptiness inside that resists filling.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
