Walking in the nautical twilight this morning, I could see, beyond the head-torch light, that the night was clear and frosty. The frost sparkled in the beam of my torch. But daylight came with cloud, becoming lower, and eventually giving little pulses of drizzly rain. Sometimes, if you hit it right, the night has beauties which are unavailable in the daytime.
Praise God for night and day!
Praise God for rain and sunshine!
Praise God for hot and cold!
God, give us the grace
to take the hard decisions we need to take,
to make this planet habitable,
and lovely, and kind
for everyone.
