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!
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.
