Harvest of Gratitude and a Ritual for Thanksgiving Day - Percival Chubb
Harvest of Gratitude - Percival Chubb
Once more the fields have ripened to harvest,
And the fruitful earth has fulfilled the promise of spring.
The work of those who labor has been rewarded: They have
Sown and reaped, planted and gathered.
How rich and beautiful is the bounty gathered: The golden
Grain and clustered corn, the grapes of purple and green,
The crimson apples and yellow pears, and all the colors of
Orchard and garden, vineyard and field.
Season follows after season, after winter the spring, after
Summer the harvest-laden autumn.
From bud to blossom, from flower to fruit, from seed to bud
Again, the beauty of earth unfolds.
From the harvest of the soil we are given occasion to garner a
Harvest of the heart and mind:
A harvest of resolve to be careful stewards of all life’s gifts and
opportunities.
A harvest of reverence for the wondrous power and life at work in
Things that grow and in the soul.
A harvest of gratitude for every good which we enjoy, and of fellowship
For all who are sustained by earth’s beauty.
