A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, December 5th

Good Morning, God,
Amid all of the unpleasant headlines, Creator God, have been the headlines speaking about our weather. These headlines have been the opposite of unpleasant; they have proclaimed the weather "beautiful." we thank you, Lord of the weather, for these days and nights.
Oh, yes, we know Old Man winter is coming (he paid us a bit of a visit last night), but we are going to enjoy what you have been giving us for as long as you are kind and gentle in giving us the warm days and nights.
While we are thanking you for the weather, we also thank you for other things, as well:
We thank you, then, O Father, for all things bright and good -
The seed time and the harvest; our life, our health, our food.
You send the snow in winter; the sun to warm the grain.
The seasons and the sunshine; the soft, refreshing rain
All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above.
We thank you, God, we thank you, God, for all your love!

In Jesus' name, Amen.
