God of time and space,
We begin each day with new opportunities for us to learn and grow, and to see how this day is connected to both our past and to the days ahead. The American historian, Abraham Geiger, wrote of his philosophy of life: “Draw from the past, live in the present, work for the future.”
May we have the wisdom to draw on the varied experiences of our own lives and from the lives of others. May we never forget to savor every moment as we live it. And may the work of our days bring about a future world that is renewed and redeemed. May this be God’s will.--AMEN.
