Carving Pumpkins

Here's the poem that went along with our pumpkin...

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 out in heart shapes)

I’m so sorry for turning up my nose to all you’ve given me.(Cut a nose in the shape of a cross)

Open my ears so your word I will hear.(Cut the ears shaped like the Bible)-we did rectangles

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)
