1. OPENING PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for this new day Lord.
Help us to embrace all that it may hold for us.
To hear the birdsong, and have new melodies in our hearts.
To see the sunrise and create beauty with our hands.
To touch the leaves that grow afresh,
And allow your love to touch our hearts.
To smell the fragrance of the flowers
And breathe in the wonder of your creation.
To dwell on the beauty of our world,
And study and fathom the science and maths miracles.
To enjoy the conversations we have and the lessons we go to
May we drink in all the goodness you have for us.
Amen.
