2Lets Celebrate Harvest!
3We plough the fields and scatter the good seed
on the land
- Think of something you might have planted..
- What did you wish for as you planted the seeds?
4But it is fed and watered by Gods almighty hand
- This dark soil hides the seeds for a while. Is
there something you would like to hide and ask
God to look after? - Take a pea hold it in your hand and think
about what you would like God to hide away for
you, then bury it - in the soil below.
5He sends the snow in winter
- Burr! Makes you feel cold. The snow covers up so
much, but underneath there is something going on. - Dig around in the box below and see if you can
find something that will warm you up.

7The warmth to swell the grain
- What makes you grow?
- Kind words can make us grow.
- Think of something kind to say about yourself
and write it on a post-it and place it below. - Then write it again on another post-it and take
it with you to remind yourself how good you are.
8The breezes and the sunshine
- Breezes and sunshine help us feel good.
- What else makes you feel good, you might
just like to think of something then write it on
a card and thank God by putting it in the basket .
