Changing Seasons
Our prayer is for this season
Of feeling in-between,
And crossing thresholds.
May we learn from Your world
Where the shift of seasons is patient,
And creation insists on taking its time.
May we relearn the rhythms
Of waking children for learning,
And rearranging our days and driving.
May we notice those arriving,
And whose presence is departing.
May we bless each neighbor, family, or friend,
With whom we share this season.
May we see the beauty of yellow leaves
As a reminder of the mystery and miracles
We only find in being in-between.
May we see the changing seasons
Not as a threat of time,
But an invitation from You
To enter a new grace.
May the roots of our life reach deeper
In this threshold of time,
And in this sacred place.
