May we be present to the world around us this day, O God. Give us the awareness of your spirit in the eyes of those we meet today. Let us find ways to make this world better using the many gifts you have given us. Allow us to see the beauty that is before us and to take the time to enjoy all the sensations that come along with what we taste, see, hear, smell and touch. May we be awed by the wonder that is around us and celebrate the chance to have a great day with people we love. All this we ask in your name. Amen
