We thank you for this new day, God. Confession time: ... we're not very good at giving thanks. We tend to be takers more than givers.
You give us so much, only we get so turned around that we can't see what you provide for us, each and every day. We get so lost in the struggle to make ends meet, that "meat", and what it takes to buy it, becomes our end.
Forgive us, Lord, and free us. Open us to your simple gifts that we might be able to turn right side around; that we might, in fact, find delight in turning; that we might enjoy simply giving.
Today is a day for turning, O God, a new day, your day of rest and renewal. Bow us, bend us, and turn us this hour, so that these words become the song of our heart, mind, and soul: "May Jesus Christ be praised!"
In Christ,
Rick
