"Come Ye Thankful People, Come"

"Come Ye Thankful People, Come"

This is the season in the United States where almost everyone will
spend some time being thankful. We decorate with the signs of the
harvest – corn stalks, beautiful fall colors, pumpkins.

We are very thankful for all the fruit of the land here in Zambia that
we are now being blessed with. This week the children will eat corn,
mealie meal (corn meal), tomatoes, onions, spinach, dried sweet beans,
potatoes, and cabbages from the gardens; eggs from our layers, chicken
from our broilers, beef (thanks to Brownie-our late bull), and bread
rolls made at the restaurant. God is honoring our desire to grow much
if not most of the food needed to raise the children. And they are
probably eating healthier than many of you who have to eat things made
with chemicals and preservatives!
