Making Peace and the Peace Testimony

The Song of Thanks

by Ruth Matthews
New Paltz Meeting

Thank you for the gift of this day…

To see, to hear, to taste, to smell,

To touch, think and feel

All the mystery and wonder of Life on Earth,

Our home in eternal vastness…….

Whatever this day brings,

Whatever it brings,

May I meet it with an open mind

And a loving, compassionate heart.

This is my consecration,

Amen.
