Dear God,
A beautiful fall weekend; your creation.
And we are also your creation, beautifully and wonderfully made in your image, your image of love.
Lead us to make choices that extend your love and beauty out into your created world. Lead us to be co-creators with you, you who sent us Jesus who shows us the way.
Let us listen and pray on these words he gave us:
You did not choose me, but I chose you to bear fruit, fruit that will last so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
Help us, God, to know what to ask so that we may love one another.
Amen
