Monday Morning Offering: 4/15

Good morning, good God!

My eyes are wide open, Lord,

searching for hints of spring along my way,

for greening branches, too long brown 

but leafy now with beauty set

to soothe a wintered soul... 

I pray my heart will open wide,

hungering for hope to sprout within

from seeds of promise, planted deep

by your hand, Lord, and watered fresh

with tears from my soul's spring...

Turn, till and tend with care 
the soil of my heart and soul

and nurture all you've planted, Lord:

bring to bloom those shoots of hope 

that reach for summer's warmth...

Receive my morning offering, Lord,

my prayer for springtime's awesome grace
and grow in me the gifts I need 

to bring to bud and blossom

a harvest of your goodness planted

deep within my soul...

Amen.
