Jesus, thank You for constant rain that has turned our world lush and green. As You know, it’s also helped fill our yard with fuzzy dandelions and deceptively delicate violets. Your spring flowers are so pretty! OMG, why do we get rid of them and instead, plant species whose native habitat is the Amazon River Basin?

Jesus, Thanks You for fall’s cool, crisp air, fresh as if You just created it. The orange harvest moon, an enormous pumpkin, perches on the horizon. And I love way You’re beginning to decorate the Indiana countryside as if You’re going wild with your paintbrush. OMG, You are making the transition to winter glorious. Maybe I should celebrate my autumn years with crazy joy too?
O Lord, You invested so much sunshine and rain in this first tomato from my garden. You must have thought it was worth it.
Investing aches, pains and Tylenol in pulling these weeds, I wasn’t sure. …
Until I tasted this fruit? vegetable? of our labors.

OMG, You were right! As usual.
O Jesus, I could thank You for a million blessings, but that wouldn’t even cover today’s gifts. I’m grateful for tiny things like working in my favorite jammies.
For cosmic things like the fact that our sun hasn’t ditched this galaxy and run away to Andromeda.

But OMG, most of all, I thank You for Your infinite love — big enough to embrace the universe. Small enough to fit perfectly inside my heart.
OMG, when our world tries to stamp out everything beautiful, I’m thankful You aren’t a quitter. You never stop recreating it!
O Lord, thank You for little things that hold our tiny lives together: paper clips, zippers and Velcro. Band-Aids, superglue and Gorilla Tape.
But OMG, the Creator who arranges miniscule atoms, yet spins planets on one big finger, we need You so much more!
Father, thank You for interior decorators, for those who beautify so many inside spaces for us. But, OMG, how thankful I am that You are the Master Exterior Decorator — and You do it all for free!
O Lord, You know that Hubby and I disagree on which describes our lawn best. He says, Prairie Preservation Plot. I say, Best Bee-Feeder on the Block. OMG, Creator of all green things, will You settle this? What do You think?
O Lord, Your infinite mind has designed an infinite number of beautiful things, but surely, peonies must near the top of your lovely list. OMG, thank You that while our politicians don’t always get it right, they were smart enough to name it Indiana’s state flower!
O Lord, another spectacular sunrise! Amid glorious sherbet-colored clouds, the butter-cake sun shines through dark-chocolate trees … um, sorry, Jesus, dieting is getting to me. But viewing Your generous artistry day after day — OMG, where do we funny little people get off, thinking You aren’t Love?
