Thank you, O God, for the many gifts you have given us. May we appreciate with wonder your creation today. Each of us gets the opportunity to begin the day seeing something that celebrates the world you have made for us. Help us to care for the world and people we encounter today. Let our love for you shine in how we respond to all that happens this day and week. May we seek to grow in faith and knowledge each day. Let us step up when it is our turn to serve others. Give us patience when we need it and help us when we are anxious. May we return the blessings we have received and become blessing’s to others as we attempt to follow where you have led the way. Amen
