WIND

Snippet

The Wind Stirs the grasses                        

And the people return to their land

I have given you my shirt

Return home in strength  

(Winter Kill by Craig Lesley 1984 pg 85)

Scripture

But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle 

that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass 

over the earth, and the water subsided. Genesis 8:1

Brother moon

Shine down your light on us tonight

Show us the love of God

Sister sun you bring out the day

You're shining the light of God on your face today

Maker of it all

You provide it all

In You we live

In You we move

In You we have our being

You're glorious

You're holding us together all together

Brother wind your clouds and your storms

You're breathing the breath of God in your lungs for us

Mother earth, you're giving us life with God's open hand 

you always provide

For us

Maker of it all

You provide it all

In You we live

In You we move

In You we have our being

You're glorious

You're holding us together all together

You are everything good, you are everything beautiful

You are everything, you're everything 

Sentence Prayer

Father, 

The bible tells us

You looked on all that you made

And saw it was good.

But we have been too willing

To squander the riches of creation.

We have laid the ax to the mighty forests

Despoiled the green hillsides

Wasted earth’s mineral wealth.  

We have fouled the air

Littered the countryside

And polluted the streams and oceans.

Voices are raised

To stop us from squandering our patrimony.

May we heed them in time so that one day

We can look on the planet you have give us

And say with pride, once again.

“Behold, it is good.”

Amen
