Good Morning, God,
As we have been so taken by the political headlines these past weeks, we have forgotten to praise you for the beauty of these days. Lord, how busy yo have been with your paint brush! Not even the largest box of Crayola Crayons holds all the colors you have. Employees at paint stores could never mix all the hues you use. Even computer color palettes cannot compare with the colors we see all around us on the trees!
We can also comment on the beautiful days and nights, with the sun shining bright by day and the moon growing larger each night. We praise you for each star, also. We like the smell of fall, also, Lord. The whiff of burning leaves, the smell of a fire in the fireplace. Oh, Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your world!
We do know that winter is coming, Lord, with its grey, clod days and nights, and it will even have its own beauty. But for now, we praise you for all the fall you have been giving us. Thank you, Creator God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
