Verse of the Day: The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. - Psalm 24:1-2
Father, today we celebrate the beauty and majesty of Your creation that characterizes our region. We’re grateful for the foresight of community leaders who, for our enjoyment and renewal, have set aside parcels of land for parks and recreational purposes. We ask You to bless those who frequent these special places—those who enjoy a leisurely walk along Rithet’s Bog or Witty’s Lagoon, those who climb Mount Finlayson, those who jog past Clover
Point or run around Elk/Beaver Lake, or bike on the Galloping Goose and Lochside Trails.
We bless those children and youth and their families who learn about teamwork and sportsmanship and competition on the baseball diamonds, soccer pitches, hockey arenas, and swimming pools in our communities. We pray for the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of all our neighbours, realizing that “. . .since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. . .” (Romans 1:20) Amen.
