The Earth's Abundance
"By their fruit you will recognize them."
— Matthew 7:20
Generous Creator,
The earth offers us an abundance of fruits and food. This generosity of nature is a wonderful gift that keeps us alive.
Thank You for these delicious fruits. For their flavors, their colors, their freshness. Thank You for the earth that produces them, for the light that ripens them, for the hands that harvest them.
May I savor this food with gratitude. May I not take it for granted, may I think of those who don't have access to this abundance.
Amen.

Eat a fruit today mindfully. Really savor each bite, with gratitude.
For all those who are hungry and for food justice.
