Generous God our Father – who gives us

Generous God our Father – who gives us all good gifts:

Gifts of life, love and, relationships;

gifts of work and leisure, effort and rest;

and, most of all, gifts of Your Son and our salvation,

your Spirit’s presence and power.

You do all things well.

By your love and strength you work

all things together for the good of those

who love you and hear you call our names.

You are good and you are strong.

You are holy and you are loving.

However, we’re but a slight reflection of you;

and sometimes more a shadow than an image…
