Pumpkins & Jesus
P
is for the people that Jesus came to save
U
is for the unconditional love to each one He gave
M
is for the message that we should all be sharing
P
is for the priceless gift God above showed he is
caring
K
is for the King of Kings
I
is for insight He brings
N
is for the nails in His hands
S
is for our Savior who gave His life so that we could
stand.
So when you see a pumpkin don't think about some guy
named Jack.
Instead remember
Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords, who is one day coming
back.

Pumpkin Prayer
Cut
off the top:
Lord, open my mind and fill me with Your wisdom and
guidance.
Scoop
out the yuckies:
Lord, take out all my fussies and frownies and fill me with
Your love.
Carve
out the eyes:
Lord, open my eyes to see all of the beautiful things You
have made.
Carve
out the nose:
Lord, help me to be a sweet fragrance for You.
Carve
out the mouth:
Lord, help me to always speak Your words of love and
kindness.
Place
in a candle:
Lord,
let me be a light to others
for You have filled me with Your light.
 
Five
Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The
first one said, “Oh, my it’s getting late!”
The
second one said, “Fall is in the air.”
The
third one said, “We don’t care!”
The
fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run.”
The
fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
Then whoosh went the wind and out went the lights!
And
the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
The Inspiring Pumpkin...
A lady had recently been baptized. One of
her co-workers
asked her what it was like to be a Christian. She was
caught off guard and didn't know how to answer; but when
she looked
up, saw a jack-o'-lantern on the desk
and answered:
"It's like being a pumpkin."
The coworker asked her to explain that one.
"Well, God picks you from the patch and brings you in
and washes off all the dirt on the outside that you
got from being around all the other pumpkins. Then he
cuts off the top and takes all the yucky
stuff out
from inside.
He removes all those seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.
Then he carves you a new smiling face and puts His
light inside of you to shine for all to see. "It is our
choice to either stay outside and rot on the vine or
come inside and be something new and bright."
