(Better late than never!)
Good Morning, God,
Creator God, you gave us the lakes and shorelines. You surround our highways and byways with your dirt and grass. You give us all things natural.
However, God, you also created us humans and endowed us with creative ideas that when used, create waste. Sadly, we aren't all that careful, either, Lord, when we dispose of that waste-we toss our trash on your lakes, shorlines and out our vehicle windows onto your shoulders. We lay waste to the land and pollute the lakes. We actually abuse your good gifts of imagination and freedom, of intellect and reason, and we end up breaking the world you have given us.
Lord, forgive us when we don't care for the gifts of good and beautiful waters, lands and fresh air. And, where we are willing to help maintain your natural resources, give us the energy, intelligence, imagination and love to do so, even as was illustrated not long ago at our Lake Patoka. May we be found "cleaning up."
In Jesus' name, Amen.
