pumpkin prayer

here’s a little prayer to say as you cut out your jack o’lantern

Cut Off The Top:
Lord, open my mind and fill me with
your wisdom and guidance.

Scoop Out The Yuckies:
Lord, take out all my fussies and frownies
and fill me with your love.

Carve Out The Eyes:
Lord, open my eyes to see all the beautiful
things you have made.

Carve Out The Nose:
Lord, help me to be
a sweet fragrance for you.

Carve Out The Mouth:
Lord, help me always speak your
words of love and kindness.

Place in A Candle:
Lord, let me be a light to others
for you have filled me with your light.
