God of the everyday, thank you for being with us in the ordinary , routine aspects of our lives, as well as the times when we feel elated or unhappy. Help us to recognise the signs of your love in the many things that lift our spirits; people who offer friendly greetings, the interplay of sunshine and shadows, the beauty of birdsong and the glory of gardens. We treasure the triggers that remind us of people who we have known and loved.
As we go about our daily business, help us to remember that a smile, a kind word or an offer to help someone in trouble can transform other people's experience and make them glad to be alive.
Amen
