HOPE HOME AND THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING IS CONSIDERED AS AN AMERICAN EVENT HERE IN INDIA AND VERY FEW CELEBRATE THE OCCASION. WE AT THE HOPE HOME HAVE BEEN OBSERVING AND CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS - NO, NOT TO ADVERTISE OUR IDENTITY AS ANYTHING AMERICAN, BUT TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE, THANKFULNESS AND APPRECIATION TO GOD FOR HIS LOVE, FAITHFULNESS, PROVISION AND CARE FOR US AS HOPE HOME CALCUTTA FAMILY

WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THIS HEART-TOUCHING POEM WITH YOU ALL BELOVED PEOPLE AND REQUEST YOU TO THINK OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING OR VERY LITTLE TO BE THANKFUL ABOUT IN LIFE...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AT THE HOPE HOME AND BEING MINISTERED BY US...WHO WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE LIVED A LIFE OF DEPRAVITY AND HOPELESSNESS...

A Thanksgiving Poem

The tear another's tears bring forth,

The sigh which answers sigh,

The pulse that beats at other's woes,

E'en though our own be nigh,

A balm to bathe the wounded heart

Where sorrow's hand hath lain,

The link divine from soul to soul

That makes us one in pain, 

Sweet sympathy, benignant ray,

Light of the soul doth shine;

In it is human nature giving

A touch of the divine.

AND ENJOY THIS PICTURE...ALONG WITH YOUR TURKEY!!

                                                              
AND SINCE TURKEY IS NOT SO POPULAR IN INDIA AND WE SELDOM CAN PURCHASE IT FROM THE LOCAL MARKETS...WE SETTLE FOR THE SECOND BEST OPTION...CHICKEN BUTTER MASALA, FRIED RICE, FRIED FISH FILLET AND A SPECIAL, VERY SPECIAL SWEET DISH :-)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU BELOVED PEOPLE

FROM THE HOPE HOME CALCUTTA FAMILY!
