Prayer: Dear God, today we pray for children as we think about how they pay attention…to the snail crawling along the path and the daisy opening to the morning sun, to the sounds, smells and sights all around them, to both the words said to them and the tone in which they are said. All taken in, all means for shaping and informing their lives.
Open our eyes and ears, our hearts and spirits to slow down and pay attention to what is right in front of us today. May that be enough for us.
We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
