Prayer for America 09/28/05

Thank you, Lord, for hot, fresh apple pie. Sure, I know it is a bit of a cliche. But it smells good and it reminds me of a cool crisp autumn day. Why is it American? I'm not sure. But it is comfortable, warm, and safe, like home, or like when I've been overseas and step back onto the soil of a land both safe and free. And apple pie warms me from the inside out, like mother's love. And your love. So thank you, God, for apple pie and for all the good things that remind me of home. Amen.
