Prayer for today (12/23/16)

A bird’s singing cry, black wings against the sky.

An animal’s love call, trees so mighty tall.

Stars bright in the night, a silvery moon a delight

Lightning silver strike, blue waters circle the land

Green plants and dry sand, a world full of life

And God gave these to you and me, who can deny God’s hand?

For this I pray, thank you Lord God this day.

Amen.
