God of Glory, autumn has officially arrived on our half of this earth and with it comes change. Each day brings more glorious color, a crispness in the air, an earlier sunset along with apples and pumpkins. We give thanks for this reprieve outside from all of the noises in our heads that fill us with concern for the health and well-being of those we love, the great divide in our nation, the racism that we continue to confront, and the economic impact of Coronavirus. May we be ready for awe and wonder today and every day. We lift our praise and thanksgiving to you, Almighty One. Amen.
