“Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August.” ~ Denise Levertov

Prayer

God of all that is sweet,

As we come to the end of August, let us take in the deep breaths of the sweet moments of summer.  The fresh fruit and vegetables that we have enjoyed, the sand under our feet during days at the beach, the breeze on our faces as we enjoyed the porch swing with a loved one.  The days of summer always go by so quickly, but the memories of good times will continue to linger and guide us into the next beautiful season that you have created.  Help us to be ready for what fall holds for us.  In gratitude for all that is sweet, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

On this last day of August, take some time outside and enjoy the final days of summer.
