God, I thank you for the healing rain that washes the curving hills bright green. I thank you for the beams of sunlight that falls softly on a child's face. I thank you for butterflies and flowers, birds and fish, stars and trees, all of these beautiful things you created for us. I pray that all of your children see and wonder at these, and that the joy of these follows them through their lives now and forever. In your name we pray,
Amen.
Amen.

It's Harvest Time
It’s harvest time,
It’s harvest time,
How rich is nature’s yield
In fruit of earth
And bush and tree,
From orchard, farm and field.
It’s autumn time,
It’s autumn time,
When leaves turn gold and red.
In smiling sky
And land and sea
God’s glories are outspread.
It’s Sukos time,
It’s Sukos time,
This day of our Thanksgiving.
We hymn the praise
Of God above
For all the joys of living.
