Harvest Sunday -This is the world that God made

 This is the world that God made. This is the field that is part of the world that God made. This is the wheat that was planted by the farmer, that grows in the field, that is part of the world that God made.

This is the flour that was ground by the miller that comes from the wheat that was planted by the farmer that grows in the field that is part of the world that God made.                                                                      This is the bread that was made by the baker, that contains the flour,
that was ground by the miller, that comes from the wheat, that was planted by the farmer, that grows in the field, that is part of the world that God made.

This is our tea when we eat the bread, that was made by the baker, that contains the flour, that was ground by the miller, that comes from the wheat, that was planted by the farmer, that grows in the field, that is part of the world that God made. This is the day when we say 'THANK YOU'  to the baker, the miller, the farmer and to God  for giving us bread by which we live  in the wonderful world which God made.                                                                                                               2005 T.W.Brighton
