Spring New Life

Loving God and Creator of all life,
How thankful we are. Thank you for the hope and promise of green things in the spring, buds and blossoms. Last year’s life rested and died so that new life begins again today.

Let all that has died within us rise in new life. Restore in us an excitement and joy for all that life holds.

We pray for your blessing and protection of all new and young life. Give the young and fragile seeds, children, and baby animals stamina, support, and loving care to mature.

From the fullness of your generosity, we have this meal before us. Bless all of us and all of your creation that fills the earth. May we always serve and protect what is yours. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
