God of creation, you have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.
As we begin the autumn season, remind us to take time in our busy schedules
to rest,
to wonder about your creation,
to awe at the beauty of changing of the colors around us.

God of the seasons, you journey with us in changing seasons of our lives.
As we travel, remind us to take time in the business of our lives
to care  for ourselves and family,
to look in on our neighbors,
to be concerned for people beyond our circle.

God of creation, we give thanks for the goodness of the earth
for the changing of seasons.  In this new season of the year
my we know the peace of Christ each an every day.
And each day may we share the peace of Christ with all we that we meet.

AMEN
