Eighteenth Week After Pentecost, Monday, September 23, 2024
Loving Divine Family,
We gather in your garden, standing guard by fruit-filled fig trees. You faithfully surround and draw us close to you. You drop fruit from your trees for us to eat. You bring us refreshing springs of living water to quench our thirst. This is your garden, where your communities gather.
Thank you for personally knowing each one of our names. Thank you for the gift of friends who encourage us, and give us energy. May we hear your words of wisdom and take refuge in you. May we be a blessing.
I gather with the community in your garden today, Loving LORD, and thank you for…
Give us grace, patience, love, and wisdom to dwell in peace with your creation and each other. We will learn the spirit of reciprocity. We will practise gratitude and generosity, so that we will greet each other in a good way.
With joy we praise you!
Amen!
Cherie and Donovan Mutschler
