Give thanks this day for love that nourishes
that tends to others, love that takes time
and takes care, love that looks after each
and every growing thing, love that soothes
and heals the scratches and bruises of life,
that holds broken hearts and fractured feelings,
love that perseveres in impossible circumstances,
love that catches the falling and the fallen,
love that is fierce and gentle, soft and strong.
Let us take a moment of silence to consider
the love that surrounds and sustains us.
May we give thanks each day for life and love, may we sing
hymns of praise for all that love makes possible,
and may we become instruments of love in all we do.
Amen!
