Giving to FUM

"I have found that contributing to FUM through their automatic monthly giving program has been simple and convenient. FUM receives the gifts regularly and every month when I open my credit card statement I am reminded of the work that FUM is doing and the people that make it all possible." —Will Taber, Arlington, Massachusetts

Weekly Devotional and Prayer

A Prayer:

God you are the thousand shades of green in trees, the cool emerald moss—living, breathing things all around me. God you are.

You’re the vibrant scarlet clouds at sunset, the crisp red of a maple leaf in fall, a pair of joyous cardinals against the snow. God you are.

You’re the deep cobalt of a lake and the crystal azure of the sky and the faded blue of my favorite shirt. God you are.

You're dusk-dark just when shapes begin to blur, and night’s darkest corner where there’s no hint of morning though it’s only moments away. And God you are those tendrils of light bringing a new day, the brilliant scorching light of a summer’s noon and the soft muted light of a lingering evening after a long, hard day. God you are.

God you are a pallet of color, rich open possibilities there waiting for me, waiting for my brush, waiting for my awe.

And I, I am a poor painter searching for a canvas.
