ON THIS SUNDAY MORNING at the Church O’ The Pines, we are grateful for the rising of the sun. For the songs of small birds and the chipping of chipmunks. For the flowing of a river and the growing of trees. For an old cabin for shelter. For the screaming of jays. For the company of two fine cats. For the love of family and of friends. For the blooming of flowers. For a warm summer day. For a good path to walk and two legs to walk it. And a hand to hold along the way.
