Dear God, thank you for the wonders of your creation.
It is a glorious spring morning, the air is rich with the scent of flowers and the songs of birds. I stopped outside for a few minutes after arriving at work to watch the rising sun highlight the tops of trees and church steeples.
It is the middle of Lent, a very meaningful time for me. Last year, my Lent began with a serious confrontation with Human Resources. I had no idea what was to come, but clearly it would not be pleasant. God arranged life so that the signs were clearly marked, with the crisis of work coinciding with specific holy days. I spent Lent in fasting and praying that God take over the reins of my life.
Now here I am, blessed with beautiful surroundings, centered in prayer and contemplation. Truly the Lord has done great things for me, and Holy is His name!
