Nature's Chancel

Nature often makes natural Cathedrals

Chancels, and places of worship

where we can stop for a moment -

raise our hearts to God - 

and pray.

Thanks be to God for

the beauty that surrounds us.

Thanks be to God for

the eyes to see.

Thanks be to God for 

the ears to hear.

Thanks be to God for

the feet to walk.

Thanks be to God

for the intellect to understand.

And - above all -

Thanks be to God

for loving us.

Amen.
