Thanksgiving in September

When do you celebrate Thanksgiving?

On the fourth Thursday in November (U.S.A.)?
On the second Monday in October (Canada)?
Or on a Sunday in September?

That's when our brothers and sisters in Moldova gather to thank God for the harvest.

This year in the Romany village of Vulcanesti, they thanked God for three whole hours!

And then they had a feast and celebrated some more!
The pastor and his wife went home after two hours; they don't know how long the rest of the people stayed, singing and communing with each other.

A few years ago a couple of friends and I had the privilege to be there over Thanksgiving. (That's what this photo is from.)

No matter when--or how--you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope your hearts are as generous and grateful as our brothers and sisters in Moldova.

Keith (no longer) in Curacao: Recorded, Reviewed, Returned!

This is us, praying a prayer of praise and thanksgiving once every one of the 260 chapters in the New Testament had been recorded, reviewed, corrected, and approved. (Whew!)





This is Keith, some days earlier, recording the very last line of the New Testament.

This is Keith, a number of days later, glad to have been in Curacao but now glad to be back home in the Netherlands (where the weather is much cooler!). 

Also grateful for the entire recording team in Curacao, the folks at Faith Comes By Hearing,  and for the prayer support which made that recording possible. God is good!
