Nature

We are so lucky to live on Cape Cod.  Most of us are only a few minutes from a beach.  I remember living in DC for fourteen years.  You had to drive an hour or two to get to the ocean.  A beach can have a calming effect, especially when the weather cooperates.  I invite you today to give thanks to God for the gift of our environment here on the Cape.   Pope Francis offered a prayer in his recent encyclical, Laudato Si:   ""All powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures.  You embrace with tenderness all that exists.  Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty...."   And I might add, give thanks for all that we have.
