“All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings, God made their glowing colors, and made their tiny wings.
God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how great is God Almighty, who has made all things well.”
(Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848)
Dear Friends,
Spring is here! The weather is warmer, the flowers are blooming, and the grass is green and growing. These are all signs of new life and growth and change around us. Let us give thanks and praise to God, the Creator of the world!
“Creator God, help us to discover in all you have made in nature, the good wisdom about the interconnectedness of all things, about balance and about living in harmony. Help us discover the power that lies in the wisdom and understanding of our role in the Great Mystery of life, and honor every living thing. Creator God, may our spirit be in harmony with yours as we gather together to worship you. Amen.” (Prayer from UMCdiscipleship.org)
In May, let us celebrate mothers and significant mother figures in our lives and communities. In June, let us celebrate fathers and important father figures in our lives and communities. Let us pray and lift up all families and parents, children and caregivers, and hope for healthy and whole-some and God-filled lives for all people of all ages. Creator God, thank you for the very gift of life each and every day.
Grace and Peace, Pastor Jennifer Jue
