Be Blest, Sing Praise,
Rejoice, Give Thanks,
the seasons circle 'round,
and God's good gifts
for all are near,
in plenty to be found.
Each season brings its own special gifts; if you look closely, you will find them. In winter, leaf buds on branches bear the promise of another year. In spring, while mallard nests with watchful eye, wood frogs sing their lullaby. In summer, fireflies dance under the moon with honeysuckle vines in bloom. In fall, when cold winds whisper frost and snow, the wild geese know it's time to go.
Here is an exquisite celebration of the natural world, the cycle of the year, and the creative power that connects all living things.
Be blest, for sun and
moon and stars,
sing praise for
wind and air,
rejoice for water,
fire, and earth,
give thanks for
creatures everywhere.
