In Song of Songs, Spring is greeted with these timeless words: “Behold the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing bird has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. (Song of Songs 2:11-12)”
O Creator of the Universe,
As we enter into this season of the earth’s rebirth, we give thanks for the bounty of the land we live in, we delight in the beauty that surrounds us, and we take hope in the renewal and reawakening of life.
May it be Your will O God, that we never take for granted the miracles and blessings we are presented with each day. May we be stewards of your earth, protecting all that you have given us.
May this be God’s will. AMEN.
