Journaling: "Dear God, everything we see in this world reminds us of you. Your power is revealed in the mighty mountains and the pounding sea. The heaviness of fruit trees at harvest time tells of your abundant gifts. God, your glory shines through the golden glow of each sunset. And your faithfulness is praised when the sun rises each new day. Thank you, God, for creating such a beautiful world. And thank you for telling us of yourself in your creation. God, we ask that you help us to look for you and to celebrate you as we appreciate the world we live in. In Jesus's name, amen." 12x12 Layout by Marcee
