My Everyday Thanksgiving by Ardis Rittenhouse
The Morning sun that awakens me
Makes me thankful I can see.
Loved ones’ voices each so dear
Make me thankful I can hear.
Health and strength that get me through
Make me thankful for what I can do.
Faith that does not let me stray
Makes me thankful for each day.
A mind that reasons and is fair
Makes me thankful that I care.
A heart that accepts help from above
Makes me thankful for God’s love.

Creation Connection
Creation prays: Sustain me!
If ever there was a time to drink in God’s beauty in the northern hemisphere, now is it! Take time to make a spiritual practice of noticing the small beauties in nature, including the way so much of the living world changes and retains beauty even as it dies or sleeps. Take a picture to remind yourself what a magnificent world we live in.
(The Gathering Pentecost 2, 2025)
