Reflection

“The earth has music for those who will listen.” –Reginald Holmes

Prayer

Good Creator,

Open our ears that we might listen better to the music of your lovely creation. The rhythm and harmony of life’s intricate web that you have called into being and asked us to steward. With gratitude for the earth’s music, we ask you to guide us as a ministry that we might continue our sustainability efforts. Empower us to adopt and develop new ways and means that will allow us to advance your good work while preserving the natural order that gives us all life. With open hearts and ears, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Spend at least a few minutes outside today, simply trying to listen to the “music” of the natural world around me. Be refreshed and be inspired to do what I can to preserve creation’s goodness.
