GIVING THANKS


 PRAYER FOR HARVEST

‘As long as the earth endures,
 seedtime and harvest,
 cold and heat, 
summer and winter,
day and night will never cease.’ 

(Gen 8:22)

Lord...

For the promise of harvest
contained within a seed
we thank you.


For the oak tree
within an acorn
The bread
within a grain
The apple
within a pip


The mystery of nature
gift wrapped
for us to sow
we thank you.

COME AND FLY

 
GIFT OF THE SEAGULL 
A lonely seagull flies the winds
Majestic... soaring...gliding wings
A single screech sounds from the sky
Come fly with me... come here and fly

My spirit floats to be a part
I feel the beating of its heart
My soul, one with this bird of sea
Now knows the meaning to fly free

I feel the winds caress my soul
And soar the streams without a goal
My being trembles of delight
A treasure I received tonight

The seagull's flight of soaring high
The gift of what it means to fly.
