Just lovely!

There’s a woman in my mirror
And she looks a lot like me,
Though there’s lines around her eyes,
And her hair is wild and free.
She is plumper than myself,
And she is definitely grey.
Did I miss the day this happened
Has she always been this way?

And this woman in the mirror
Has an air of something calm,
Like a tide that’s going out,
And a beach that’s soft and warm.
She has seen the world in colour,
She has learned to know the truth.
There’s a wisdom in her wrinkles,
There’s a knowledge brought from youth.

And she seems to move more freely,
As though released from earthly binds.
Is she made of something lighter?
Perhaps the weight she left behind.
Like the press of expectation,
And the need to yield and bend.
I like this woman in the mirror,
She’s fast becoming my best friend.

Amen.

God of seedtime and harvest,
Have mercy on us and hear our prayer:
For children who go to bed hungry at night,
and for parents who cannot find food for them.

Lord, hear our prayer.

For communities hungry because of flood, fire, or drought,
and for governments who struggle to provide for them,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For farmers sowing seed and raising livestock to feed the world,
and for their care for the land that provides their livelihood,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For subsistence farmers vulnerable to climate changes,
and for market gardeners vulnerable to price variations,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For those who are committed to organic farming practices,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For the wellbeing and ethical treatment of livestock,
and for those who raise, transport, and slaughter animals for food,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For soup kitchens, food banks, and aid agencies,
and for the donors, volunteers, and staff who help feed the hungry,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For remote communities where fresh food is expensive and in
short supply,

Lord, hear our prayer.

For policymakers and planners in land use and food production,
and for community educators in diet and nutrition,

Lord, hear our prayer.

Gather us in to your heavenly feast where all who hunger and thirst for justice will be satisfied.
