Pumpkin Prayer

Today we are carving pumpkins. This is a popular Pumpkin Prayer. I wanted to share it for those of you who are getting ready to do the same:


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 the eyes)

I'm so sorry for turning up my nose to all you've given me.
(Cut a the nose)

Open my ears so your word I will hear.
(Cut the ears)

Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near
(cut the mouth)

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

Have a great weekend!
