God of creation,
Thank you for the ever-changing variety of weather.
Here in this place, where I am forever surprised at how much one day can differ from the next,
guide me to see the gifts and beauty in each day.
Let each sunny day remind me of the warmth of your love and the countless gifts the earth provides.
Let each rainy day remind me of the nourishment you pour upon me, and all your creatures.
Remind me that winter’s rest leads to spring’s new growth.
Show me that snow and cold bring their own beauty.
Remind me that a downpour fills the streams, rivers, and seas.
Show me that winds spread seeds and bring new freshness.
Remind me that uncomfortable heat yields a harvest.
Amen.
