My Everyday Thanksgiving\u00a0 by Ardis Rittenhouse<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Morning sun that awakens me<\/em>
\nMakes me thankful I can see.<\/em>
\nLoved ones\u2019 voices each so dear<\/em>
\nMake me thankful I can hear.<\/em>
\nHealth and strength that get me through<\/em>
\nMake me thankful for what I can do.<\/em>
\nFaith that does not let me stray<\/em>
\nMakes me thankful for each day.<\/em>
\nA mind that reasons and is fair<\/em>
\nMakes me thankful that I care.<\/em>
\nA heart that accepts help from above<\/em>
\nMakes me thankful for God\u2019s love.<\/em><\/p>\n

Creation Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creation prays: Sustain me!<\/p>\n

If ever there was a time to drink in God\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

(The Gathering Pentecost 2, 2025)<\/p>\n
