The Scottish year sees a landscape transformed:
the green of summer gives way to hills of purple and trees of gold;
winter browns are capped with falls of snow before the cycle begins again with the miracle of spring.
God unchanging and yet ever-new, may the seasons of our lives be transformed by your Spirit.
In our autumns may we be touched by the purple and gold of the king of kings;
in our winters may we be touched by the promise of the spring of resurrection;
as we see green shoots of new life may we pray for roots to go deep;
in the fullness of our summers may we look for a harvest to come.
