Today’s Reflection –  Prayer for Water and Rain: Sustaining God, thank you for water. Thank you for the way it cools the earth, and hydrates the land. Thank you for the smell of the earth after the rain has fallen. We ask that the rain come as often as it is needed, so that crops and gardens may flourish. Amen. — from Liturgy for Blessing Gardens and Gardeners

Today’s Reflection –  Morning Prayer

Remind us and reassure us, Lord,

that even though we stray from your path,

even though we wander far off in pursuit of our own desires and dreams, you remain constant,

your love for us unfailing, your arms wide open

to welcome us home.

May we show that love to all. — Bill Braviner

Today’s Reflection –  Morning Prayer

Fill us with desire, Lord,

for treasure and wealth,

but not the passing treasures

and fleeting wealth

of material things;

give us rather desire

for your kingdom,

your peace, your love,

a desire to invest them

in one another,

to bring growth

for the blessing of all.— Bill Braviner
