Good Morning, God
Lord we have an old adage down here. It goes "Take time to smell the roses!" Right now, Lord, your natural order of things has made the roses very beautiful to behold and to smell. It's too bad that headlines cannot also include actual smells from the roses!
Creator God, there is so much beauty all around us; all a person has to do is decide to behold it. Our headlines can speak about the beauty found along the nature trail, with the flowing Patoka River, the deer and the woods. Our advertisements can offer the possibility of nature's beauty from our garden shops. Our headlines may even talk of our own gardens - the flower, herb and vegetable gardens we create.
Lord of all beauty, we seek your beauty in our lives. May we notice it around our apartments and homes. May we enjoy it in our neighborhoods and around our work. And, may we take time to smell all the roses!!
In Jesus' name, Amen
