Dear God,

Temperatures are dropping below freezing.  Frost sparkles on the ground.  The feel of winter has returned.  How glorious!

Seasonal changes remind us of your holy, sacred rhythm, O God.  When one season shifts to the next, we are reminded that your hand is on all creation.  We cannot do anything to change it except to recall who it is that holds the power of creation in hand.  You cause us to consider the earth and how she listens to your voice and follows your will.  You invite us to the same.

Thank you,

Holy God,

for the gift

of creation

and all

her wondrous mysteries.

Thank you

for the

shifting seasons

that cry out

your name.

Thank you

for the invitation

to follow

the sacred rhythm

you have set

for our lives.

Praise to you,

Lord of All.

Yours, Andrea
