Fruits are being harvested in Sierra Leone; WE ALL (both near and far) GIVE THANKS

Harvest of Fruit, Kabala Sierra Leone May 2010

We plow the fields,

Corn Crop, Pa Foday Farm, Kabala, Sierra Leone

and scatter the good seed on the land,

But it is fed and watered

Near Kamasorie Village, Sierra Leone

By God’s almighty hand;

rugged hands of the working man, Kabala Sierra Leone


He sends the snow in winter,

And soft refreshing rain.



All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love
