Thanksgiving Sunday; Deuteronomy 8:7–18; 2 Corinthians 9:6–15; Luke 17:11–19

That year in the west of England was well beyond averagely bad; it started raining in mid-April, and continued daily all Spring, throughout Summer, into early Fall. The crops never had a chance. In late September Lilian Garner was looking out of her little house not far from Dartmoor prison, where her husband worked as […]
