Thanksgiving … and Harvest Home

It felt like July was last week and last Christmas was only a month away. On Thursday, we'll be as busy as ever … doing our daily routine. Thanksgiving Day is an American holiday, but we're not in America! We celebrated Harvest Home back in October at the ingathering service at Basel Christian Fellowship. Jehovah Jirah was praised as the one who supplies all our needs. We indeed were blessed as everyone was asked to bring a main dish or a dessert, but quite a few (including us) brought both. What a feast! Imagine having a smorgasbord with choices from more than 3 dozen countries across the globe … Singapore, Scotland, Argentina, Ireland, Mexico, Japan, Romania, Nigeria, Korea … the list goes on! That's one aspect of BCF we enjoy and appreciate–the diversity of believers from many cultures. The other thing that strikes us is the diversity of occupations represented. Scientists, doctors, lawyers, engineers, businessmen … some of the top minds in their field. When I read or hear of someone mocking believers in Christ Jesus as being mindless fools, just one look around at the congregation blows their ignorance out of the water.

We trust you have a blessed Thanksgiving day. Remember to thank our heavenly Father for His mighty gifts!
