Bring to fruition, Creator God,
the work of your kingdom.
Make us part of that joyful harvest
in which your loving purpose is completed.
Help us to realize
how important the smallest words and deeds are
in the context of eternity.
At harvest time when we remember your goodness
make us grateful also
for all we have received from the labor of others
who have sown the seeds of faith, hope, and love
in our lives.
David Jenkins, minister of the United Reformed Church, England
