Have you ever heard of the country of Bhutan? When you say it, it sounds like boo-TAHN. Look it up on a world map, and you will find it close to India, Bangladesh and Nepal – way over in the eastern part (the right side of the map). Most of the people are Buddhist, not Christian.

Many people from Bhutan have moved to the United States. About 300 live near Richmond, Va., and a lot live in Texas. Maybe there are Bhutanese (boo-TAH-nees) people living in your city, too.

Christians in the United States are going to invite some of these Bhutanese people to their houses to have Thanksgiving dinner with their families. They will eat turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy. The people from Bhutan like chilies in their food, so maybe they will slip some hot chilies in the dressing!

Pray for the families that invite these Bhutanese people into their homes. Pray that they will explain that Thanksgiving is a holiday when we give thanks to God for His blessings. Pray that the people from Bhutan will want to learn more about God.

Guess what? I’m praying for you too – praying you will have a great Thanksgiving and that you will say “Thank You” to God lots of times for all the wonderful things He is doing for you.
