#LaudatoSi5 - In Gratitude for the Seasons

Over the weekend here in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies we saw beautiful sunshine and bright blue skies, a welcomed spring gift. Today we experienced the start of a few days of rain, another welcomed spring gift. Each season offers so many gifts. 

This poem was written a few years ago as I pondered how each season is unique and yet how they work together to provide for the human family. May we be aware of the gifts of the season and give thanks to God for the gift of the seasons of creation and the seasons of our lives.

In Gratitude for the Seasons

For the growth of spring

For the fullness of summer

For the beauty of autumn

For the creativity of winter

We give you thanks O God.
