“We give you thanks, most gracious God,
for the beauty of the earth and sky and sea;
for the richness of mountains, plains, and
rivers;
for the songs of birds
and the loveliness of flowers.
We praise you for these good
gifts..."
Prayer of Thanksgiving for the Beauty of the Earth
from the Book of Common
Prayer
Reading this prayer lifted my spirits and stirred joy in my heart. Gratitude does that, I have found, as appreciating the beauty of nature brings peace.
What I most want to offer and share with you today is: a little prayer, a moment for gratitude, a stirring of joy, and a flow of peace to you and through
you.
Wishing you the best of life's gifts.
Always,
Charlene
THE SECOND GIFT IS BEAUTY.
May your deeds reflect its depth.
