Are you noticing a slight chill in the air, perhaps a crunchy leaf underfoot, or washed out greens slowly turning into brilliant reds and oranges? Autumn is arriving, and with it the seasonal celebration of harvest.

When I was at school, even though I lived in a relatively urban area and didn’t go to church or attend a church school, we still held harvest festival services at our school. I picked up a sense of being connected to and grateful to God for food, even if I didn’t know Him personally at that time.

Every time we eat, we are essentially eating God’s creation on a plate. Food is a central connection point with God! The fact that you are living and breathing and able to read this piece is a reminder that God has answered your prayerful request that He would give you this day your daily bread.
