For the Beauty of the Earth
It's not easy to let go of summer and welcome the fall. But this year the Creator is treating us to sunny warm days followed by cooler evenings. I'm taking no small amount of joy in this last breath of summer's beauty and thought we might pause today, sit back and pray over beauty of the earth around us...
Lord...
Let every ray of sunshine on my face,
every touch of warmth upon my back,
every cooling breeze upon my cheek,
every bloom along my path,
every splash of green across blue skies:
tell me of your beauty,
reveal your awesome glory,
herald your good news and remind me
to raise a joyful prayer of praise
for the beauty of the earth...
Amen.
