A Prayer of Thanksgiving for God's Green Thumb

Oh God, giver of life and light and love and fresh air,
The new life all around us reminds us that death is not quite so final as our despair would have us believe. 
It makes me think about you and the delicate balance by which you sustain us all 
and the ways in which you created life to take up space and to breathe fresh air, 
and to be much more durable than I give it credit for. 
Cultivate in me, great Gardener God, fertile soil for healthy roots, 
that my life will tell of your empty tomb and remind the world that the end is not the end. 
Amen
