A Brighter World

At our church the Sunday after Easter we observe Bright Sunday.  It's a contrast to the season of darkness and deprivation that has passed and a celebration of the joy and light that has come.

People are so small

next to you, God.

You put the stars and the moon

in the sky, and the birds in the air

above the cows and the horses in the fields,

and the fish that swim in the seas.

You created all the beauty

in the world!

Psalm 8 (from Psalms for Young Children)
