I'm grateful, Lord:
- for every day that moves us away from winter
and closer to summer
- for every day the sun sets even seconds later
than it did the day before
- for every degree the temperature climbs,
though it dips the very next day
- for every leaf that buds a touch of green
on barren branches all around
- for every color of every blossom
on every glorious flowering tree
- for any reason to take off sweaters
and put on short sleeved shirts and shorts
- for the hint of spring in the morning air
and the earthy scent of a fresh-turned garden
- for the April showers that brought May's flowers
and carpets of green for barefoot walks
- and for the promise of new life, your life, Lord,
waking in nature, touching my soul,
blessing my heart, lifting my prayer
giving me hope and refreshing my faith...
For all of this, I'm grateful, Lord,
and give you praise, my God,
from whom all blessings flow...
Amen.
