Learning English

After supper each evening, our devotional time includes a Scripture reading, hymn stanza, and prayer. Kola needs to learn many new hymns to catch up with his siblings, so Jonathan started teaching him a few while they were still in Ukraine. Since Thanksgiving is coming soon, they started with hymns for that particular holiday.

About two weeks ago, I was unsuccessfully urging Kola out the front door since we were late for an appointment. I forgot the word for "Come!" in Ukrainian, so I used the English word with him. He looked right at me and proclaimed in English, "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come!"
