Morning Prayer, The Seed*

Thank you for the wind that blows the seed

For the soil and solid earth which catches the seed

For the sun that keeps the seed warm

For the rain that nourishes the seed

Thank you for our patience while waiting for the seed 

to grow from seedling…to flower…to fruit

Thank you for the farmer who cultivates the seed

For the distributor who brings it out to market

For the market which displays it for others to buy

Thank you for our jobs

So our families are able to purchase it

Thank you for our healthy bodies so we can bring it home

Thank you for our clear minds

So we are able to prepare it, serve it and 

feed it to our children

…our seeds

I was overjoyed to be asked to read this prayer for the invocation for Feasting and Fasting at the Table of Abraham, an interfaith dialogue luncheon sponsored by Fellowship In Prayer.
