Good Morning, God,
What would our lives be like without the excitement and the beauty of the "Arts" - music, paintings, drama - all of these things that touch our inner sense of joy, satisfaction, and both sides of our brain? The headlines once again speak about how our school children might not be able to attend a local program in January due to a lack of funds, due to budget cuts.
Well, Lord, here we are again. We have been here before. Every time we have a shortage, we seem to need to cut the arts because they rarely bring in money, while costing a lot of money to produce and attend.
Yet, Lord, we must expose our children and ourselves to the beauty and free expression displayed in all art - the visual, the aural, the tactile - for these are the things that keep us gentle and appreciative of beauty. These are the things that touch our hearts.
Thank you, Lord, for the beauty of the arts.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
