Good Morning, God,
Today, Lord, we want to say "thank you" for the lives we live in our small towns.
We think about the Jasper Strassenfest, the Dale Fall Fest, the Holland Community Fest, the Ferdinand Folk Festival, and the Huntingburg Herb Fest. It often seems that these festivals are the place to be. They hearken us back to what seems to be a simpler lifestyle, a time when it was a joy to take time from the farms and factories and enjoy friends and family and fun.
Now, as then, we get to share our wares, our good food, our games. Even though our food booths take time, it is a joyful time for raising funds for various good causes. Even though it takes time and some money to set-up and tear-down, it is a worthwhile venture to provide clean, safe venues that bring us together.
Lord God, a God who loves a good get-together, thank you for the good hearts, good ideas and good times that we have at our community festivals. Until next year, then.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
