Hebrews 11:  So it was that there came forth from one man, himself as good as dead, descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

    Breathe of Summer

     

    Creator God
    who breathed this world into being,
    who is discernible within
    the harmony of nature,
    the perfection of a butterfly's wing,
    the grandeur of a mountain range,
    the soaring eagle and humming bird,
    thank you for this world
    which you have created.
    Thank you for summer sun,
    which reminds us
    that your creative breath
    is still alive and active.
    Thank you for the warmth of your love,
    sustaining this world,

    Your garden
