Prayer
O God, in these days of Spring we delight to behold the exquisite tapestry of variegated color, woven with emerald blades of grass, brilliant blossoms of flowers and trees, and myriad of plants pushing their way through soil to add their contribution to the world of beauty around us. Grant to us as responsible citizens and leaders, such strength of character, courage of conviction and compassionate concern, that our influence for good will be felt in every life we touch. Bless now our food to strengthen our bodies, and our fellowship to enrich our relationships. Amen.
