Creator

that they were good. Forgive us for the times in which we do
not treat creation as if it is good, or worthy of our love. Help us
to be more fully a part of the creation that is all around us.
Help us to journey with you, on this path unknown, with all
that you created so that we can continue to nurture your world
and live in your way. Amen.
