Pumpkin Prayer

Celebrating 100 years

Dear God, as I carve my pumpkin help me say this prayer:

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 shaped like hearts)

I'm sorry for turning up my nose to all You've given me. (cut a nose in the shape of the cross)

Open my ears so Your word I will hear; (cut ears shaped like the Bible)

Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near. (cut the mouth in the shape of a fish)

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