Meal Blessing for March 2000

[This grace is anonymous]

O Spring, how we've missed you.
Stir us from our slumber.
Blow away the dark storms of winter
with your gentle breezes,
so we can see again the mountains
of challenge that inspire us to climb higher.
They've been there all winter,
but we've been inside.
The promise of change is all around--
may we greet the new beginning
with renewed energy and vigor.
