Animal Blessing
I celebrate life in all its expressions.
The words of a favorite hymn remind me to behold the wonder of animals as they contribute to wisdom and balance in the world:
"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful: the Lord God made them all."
Watching the antics of a frisky kitten or a rambunctious puppy, I am reminded to play and enjoy myself. Seeing a dog visit patients at a health care facility reminds me to affirm healing by my very presence. A service animal guiding a sight-impaired individual shows me the value of helping others.
I appreciate and bless all animals by celebrating the sacredness of life in all its diverse expressions.
"God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind. ... And God saw that it was good."--Genesis 1:25
