As we near the end of October we approach a time where we might take a moment to celebrate and give thanks to God for our gifts and our life. Psalm 100 the writer invites us to be in a state of thankful joy. “Shout for joy to the Lord, of THE EARTH … Come into his presence with thanksgiving …” May the following prayer guide us in our celebration of thanksgiving:
Almighty God, we give thanks for the fruits of the earth and for the work of those who harvested. Help us to be faithful stewards of the abundance we receive from you to meet our needs and help those who are in need, so that your name be glorified. Amen. (Christian Festival 2003)
