Lord God, We give you thanks for this wondrous world which you have made: for the beauty of hills and valleys; for the joyful rivers of crystal-clear water; for our fellow creatures – the beasts of the field, fish and fowl; for the sun to warm us, the trees to shade and shelter us, the rain to refresh us, the winds which blow upon us like the breath of heaven.  We thank you for all these things that speak to us of your glory, your care and your kindness – this summer – and always!  AMEN
