Almighty God,
You have fed us with the harvest of the fields and nourished us with the fruit of the land. May we not forget to feed our minds by reading your Word and spending time with you.
Amen.

Bearing fruit
Mighty God,
Humans prepare the soil and plant the seeds and work the land, but it is only because of the power and mystery of your creation that our work bears fruit. Thank you for providing a way for us to feed ourselves and keep ourselves living.

Good Seeds, Good Deeds
Gracious God,
The tiniest seed, when cared for properly, produces much fruit. May that wonder of your creation remind us that every good deed we do, no matter how small, might cause love to grow in the hearts of others. Thank you for this food. Bless those whose good deeds provided it for us.
