Confession
Creator God,
forgive our moments of ingratitude,
the spiritual blindness that prevents us
from appreciating the wonder that is this world,
the endless cycle of nature,
of life and death and rebirth.

Forgive us for
taking without giving
reaping without sowing.

Open our eyes
to see
our lips to praise
our hands to share.

May our feet
touch lightly on the path we tread,
and our footsteps be worthy of following,
for they lead to you.
