For rain where it was needed today, thank you, God
For the calming of waters and winds in places that need relief, thank you, God
For beauty in times of horrific ugliness and hate, thank you, God
For love that refuses to be destroyed, distorted, legislated, commodified, or controlled, thank you, God
For another day…another night, thank you, God
May we find rest in it.
and if not rest, joy, good trouble, and play!
Amen!
