While we wait
and wait
and wait
impatiently for the weather to turn,
let us think spring thoughts.
Let us think about our President-Elect preparing to take the reins of our club.
Let us think about our club goals and the role each of us plays to make the world
a better place through our involvement in Rotary.
Let us think about opportunities to serve in new ways.
Let us be thankful for the food and the friends around this table.
Let us be thankful that spring will come
eventually.

Hello Shawn,
I used your “Spring” invocation at our Rotary Club today, with a brief intro to you and your interests. It was well received and very appropriate as we are impatiently waiting for the rains to end and the sun to shine once again.
Thanks,

Thank you Shawn,
Sorry to say my club doesnât do invocations anymore.
It is beautiful and I shall enjoy it and add it to my collection.
Thank you again

I think some people have difficult with the idea of ‘non-sectarian’ invocations, which is why I created this site, to provide many options. Does your club do a ‘thought for the day’ or something similar?
