Daylight Savings Blessing
Blessings on everyone. ESPECIALLY every single person who works through Daylight Savings.
Blessings on overnight who get to skip an hour of work.
Blessings on the parents who will have their schedules thrown into chaos forever.
Blessings on pet owners who don’t speak dog and cat.
Blessings on sanitation workers, nurses, teachers and ever other early morning worker who even have to get up earlier.
Curses on capitalism that cannot let us just work an hour less in the winter without having us pay for things on productivity.
Blessings on the children, sweet and innocent, grumpy and yet still full of energy—how do they do that? We were that and yet it remains a mystery.
Blessings on the sunshine, returning to us, may we appreciate it and treat the earth with respect.
Blessings on coffee, tea, milk, water, fruit juice, our favorite breakfast—whatever it is that keeps us fueled and going through the day. Only God would provide such beautiful variety for us.
Blessings on the coming evening, full of respite and relief.
Blessings on this change, may we transition as best we can, though we are only human. Give us the life-giving practices we need to sustain and grow through it we pray.
Amen
