Dear God,

This morning at Spiller Farm I stood in the weeds and pulled up beets, deep purple beets.  In one hour I had four big bags.  All the way home I gave thanks for one of my favorite vegetables to home can.

I thought of all the vegetables and fruits I pick, pull or dig up.  Each one is very special and unique.  The color, texture and shape all speak to me of creation and the magnificent way you designed each one.  The taste of fresh, farm produce is wonderful.  I love to clean, cut, cook and can what I pick at the farm.  As I place them in clear Ball jars and put them on the shelf, I am amazed at their beauty.  Each one a different color, texture and shape, they really are beautiful even before I open the jar, cook and eat.  To be sure each jar tells me a story about you.

Creative God,
