We're getting new neighbors. When we built our house several years ago, the lot was so beautiful and I was so aware of the changes that we were making that I composed a little prayer for it.
Dear Father in Heaven,
We have changed your Earth today. We have uprooted your trees and destroyed your raspberry bushes to dig this hole. Please fill it with your love. Bless the labours of the workers; the plumbers, the brick-layers, the roofers, as they toil to construct a house that will be worthy of this land. Allow them to finish in a timely manner with no injuries, disagreements or cross words. When the time comes, bless the family who will make this their home. May they be happy here and their children and flowers flourish in your love.
