Pumpkin Prayer!

I am always amazed at how the Lord can teach us spiritual lessons in our everyday life with the most simple things. I think about this analogy while carving my pumpkins each fall.


Dear God,

Open my mind so I can learn about You;
(Cut the top of the pumpkin)

Take away all my sin and forgive me for the
wrong things I do; (Clean out the inside)

Open my eyes so Your Love I will see;
(Cut eyes)

Open my ears so Your Word I will hear;
(Cut ears)

Open my mouth so I can tell others about You;
(Cut mouth)

Let Your Light shine in all I say and do! Amen.
(Place a candle and light)

  7. That is just awesome! It even kind of goes with what I have been posting the last couple of days. "Help us to know you Lord and shine your glory to the world!"
