Treat the earth well,
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
We borrow it from our children.
-Native American Traditional

​Father of all, we thank you for:
Family and friends
Health and strength,
Food and drink,
Work and play,
Love and peace.
The gifts of nature, and
All the blessings that surround us.
 
Help us share our gifts with others to:
Strengthen our families and cheer our friends,
Comfort the ageing and ailing,
Feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty,
Show compassion in our places of work and play,
Rejoice in nature's splendour,
Sow love and peace where there is strife, and
Encourage a culture of gratitude.
