Lord of all creation, we give you thanks this day for all the wonders of your world. Especially this day we thank you for the zoo, where we can see animals which would otherwise rip us to shreds so close we can see their breath. We humbly ask that the tigers, penguins, and elephants especially be active and close to the fence, so that we might think today with dad was super cool. And we ask Lord that a trip like this will remind us of how beautiful a world you have placed us in, and inspire both old men and their children alike to care for this planet that we call home. In your name, through the power of Jesus the Son, and in the majesty of the Holy Spirit we pray. Amen.
