Confetti Harvest (Dorsvloer vol confetti)

CONFETTI HARVEST

What's this now?

Did you arrange this?

Who are they?

No more room in the campgrounds and there's a sick boy with them.

-He doesn't exactly look sick. -He did up close.

Did you talk to these people dressed like that?

We'll never get rid of them.

-What are they doing? -Got water.

-Why didn't you call us? -I didn't want to disturb the afternoon nap.

-I was awake anyway, so I thought... -Didn't you realize...

...we're not free with strangers in our yard.

-They'll have to use the toilet. -Ah, well.

Problem solved.

-Let's send them away. -Well, that's a bit harsh.

...who'd recognize their best works as glaring sins?

Who have forfeited everything?

Who take the Lord for their refreshment?

There are still seats.

Are there still those who are far from the Lord?

Are any among you called?

Are there those among you who welcome death?

Because only after death true life awaits us.

Believe that the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ...

...has been spilled to atone for our sins.

We've strayed from the path to salvation...

...because we lack the strength to choose the narrow road.

We don't have enough strength to remain on the narrow road...

...until death...

...when true life awaits us...

...beside Him who we love above everything.

That we die to be able to be reborn.

Raise your heart to the Lord.

-Katelijne. -Hello, sir.

-I can't win with this skirt. -Sure you can.

Amen.

So what were the points, guys?

Well?

The three points of God's sacred law.

The law curse the sinner. The law damn the sinner.

And...

The law kill the sinner.

-The tractor's fuel is almost gone again. -Yes, it's a guzzler.

-I'll top it up tomorrow. -I'll do it.

-Let Rogier do it. -Rogier?

Dad, he was riding around like a maniac yesterday.

So what did you see me do?

-Zigzagging like a drunk. -Nonsense.

Hey, hey.

-You're lucky that barn's still there. -Do you learn that arguing in church?

-Name one thing you saw me do. -That's enough.

my help comes

only from the Lord

Who heaven, sea and earth

created

and preserved ever since

When I have money, I'm going to Canada.

Apparently, farms are much bigger over there.

Canada!

Katelijne!

Katelijne.

Stubborn as a mule.

Did you use this one down there?

That's my washcloth.

Luckily, I'm clean both down and up.

Yuck.

Satan, the killer of humans from the beginning of time...

...will do his utmost to pull you off the straight and narrow.

Keep in mind, children, at your new schools...

...you'll be exposed to his temptations. Yes?

-Satan wants us to read different books. -Yes.

-About us descending from apes. -Right.

-And fairy tales. -Exactly.

Fairy tales are expressions of pagan stories.

Satan always looks for something that's dear to your heart.

Don't be too quick to think that music has no hold on you.

There's something in music that tempts you.

And now...

Satanic texts.

They discovered in America that the subconscious...

...can decipher Satanic texts.

I will rise

I'm your sire Satan

There are also a lot of songs about sex, but I don't have an example of that right now.

God's word stands firm throughout eternity

it will not budge an inch

Satan...

Look, this is a cow.

When the cow eats a dandelion it will first go down into the rumen.

Then into the reticulum, followed by the omasum.

And lastly into the abomasum.

It's over here.

And over there.

When the cow poops, the dandelion is still yellow.

Go and have a look when dad turns on the mixers.

They float all the way to the top.

Kat...

Ro, I'm warning you. A child doesn't belong in a café.

Straight back home after shopping.

It's not for us. Come on.

I was wearing my coveralls and my cap when I tripped on a ham.

A ham this big. I thought: I'll carry it inside.

Look at all that ice-cream. Eat it before it melts.

And the coffee. -With everything. I'm not a cheap date.

I cut a piece off that ham, tasted it and I grimaced.

Sea salt.

Then I knew it had been a pig with erysipeloid.

They hope that by cooking it in seawater you wouldn't find out about it.

Later on I heard that the reverend had gotten a piece first.

I assume that if it hadn't ended well for him salvation would still await him.

-Grandpa? -Yes?

Is that story about the ham true?

Grandma thought the Lord had sent it.

Who knows?

You're filthy.

It's over.

The fumes.

What mischief did you get up to?

He was looking for dandelions.

What were you thinking? You know how dangerous that manure pit is.

What will become of our body?

It returns to dust and the worms will eat it.

Who shall be called rich?

Those who have stored up a treasure in heaven.

Who want to leave the world?

Those who are heirs to the Lord.

Who are the happiest people?

Those who desire no greater happiness than doing the will of God.

Who are the unhappiest?

Those who follow their own will.

What will be their end?

Eternal damnation.

What will be the end of the pious?

Eternal salvation and glory. Amen.

It's the tough, narrow road which leads to the Lord.

The broad road is more pleasant and easier.

Which is why many of us take that road.

Unfortunately, I add.

And from his throne, the Lord will address them.

And to them he says: I never knew you.

"Away from me."

Mur thoughts are with the wife and family of Mr. Minderhoud.

That's what happens...

when you find your business more important than your salvation.

No sign or anything that he ended up well?

No one has seen or noticed anything.

Small is the gate and narrow the road to life and only a few find it.

-Are you ever troubled by your sins? -Mh, that child.

She doesn't want to hear it, but even green leaves fall sometimes...

...and then it's too late.

BIBLE

-Tea, child? -Yes, please.

Those who want to get wet should walk in the rain.

Those who want to be saved...

Oh, child...

Suppose you were to experience that too? Attaining salvation?

Wouldn't that be a miracle?

I used to be just like you: living from one day to the next.

If your grandpa had just tried harder, he might have ended up well.

Shall we read?

Guys, enough dilly-dallying. Get to work.

The cows won't wait.

She's from the farm where he was an intern.

She's from the seceders. They're more strict than us.

Jannemieke sleeps in your bed this weekend.

Otherwise she'll have to cross the water to Terneuzen tonight.

Jannemieke? Katelijne can give you a tour once you've tidied up.

She can serve as an example to you. -Jannemieke?

With her you can tell she's different.

We have to be strangers on earth.

People have to be able to tell by your actions...

...your face, your words and by the way you dress.

I'll do it.

-Have you really never had a haircut? -No, we're not allowed.

Ouch!

-Ouch. -Sorry.

Now you've got the sister you always wanted.

Sleep well.

Again?

Maybe you'll go to my school.

In the laundromat?

I attend school every Monday, you know.

Don't forget: Blessed are the ignorant.

You can read as much as you want, but if you don't learn the most important thing...

...you are only a clanging cymbal.

Mom?

Do you think I really have to go to Jannemieke's school?

We'll see.

You can't count on the weather forecast for one bit.

Guys, just one more minute and we'll read the Bible.

Katelijne was looking.

I wouldn't let Rogier slobber all over me.

Come on, lazybones. Don't make me come up again.

You?

Jeroen's.

Empty again?

I might come even more often next year.

-Having another one? -Yes.

The doctor was against it, because she always needs a caesarean.

But, ah well...
