I love the litany of thanksgiving in Daniel 3. And what a time of year to pray it. Every time I go outside I glory in all the gifts of the Spring. Despite the darkness of our culture, the Lord continues to lift our hearts with the beauty of His creation. All the earth testifies to the truth that God made the world and calls us, as the apple of His eye, to worship and give Him thanks. Below is Daniel 3, from verse 53 to 87. But I invite you to recite your own litany as you go about your daily chores, especially outside. Here's the beginning of my personal litany:
Blessed art thou, O Lord, in the redbuds, the dogwoods, the bluebells, the daffodils, the dandelions and all the flowering plants and trees; praise and exalt Him above all forever.
