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 mouth in the shape of a fish) Let Your Light shine in all I say and do! Amen. (Place a candle and light) Sent in by Nance from Reno Comments from subscribers: I wanted to let you know though, that Sunday I taught the lesson
"Go Fish".
Then I used the "Pumpkin Prayer" and carved the pumpkin
as I read it. It was a powerful lesson. I had four children from
pre-school age to 2nd grade. They were so attentive. After I was
done, I took the top of the pumpkin and sprinkled cinnamon and nutmeg
on the top and placed it back on the pumpkin to give a sweet smell
and told the children that is what we smell like to God when we
have His light shining inside of us. I let them smell the spices
and the "guts" of the pumpkin and asked them which one
did they want to smell like. I tied the pumpkin prayer into the
"Go Fish" lesson. I thought it ended it perfectly. The
snack was the blue jell-o fish cups. Next week, we are going to
review the lesson and play "Red Fish, Green Fish" outside
and make the fish craft and eat the roasted pumpkin seeds that I
am going to bake for them. I am thinking about planting a small
pumpkin patch. Lisa A Christian Pumpkin - Poem - Go To http://www.pagerealm.com/angels/challoween.html |
