A prayer for Arbor Day

Creator God,

Out of chaos You brought order. 
Out of nothingness You brought life. 
In the middle of all life stands the tree.

Trees provide the air that nurtures all Your creation. 
Birds make them their homes. 
Cats climb them for protection.  
Trees recycle life that has come before.

Bless the trees of this word, loving God. 
Remind us to serve as their caregivers and protectors. 
Give them long limbs and long life.
The gift of their breath is as special to us as the
breath of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
(The Rev. Chuck Currie, Portland, OR)
