Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession for the Morning

Sep 6

The world is alive with your goodness, O God,

it grows green from the ground

hand ripens into the roundness of fruit.

Its taste and its touch

enliven my body and stir my soul.

Generously given

profusely displayed

your graces of goodness pour forth from the earth.

As I have received

so free me to give.

As I have been granted

so may I give.

Pray for the coming day and for the life of the world

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
