Happy Thanksgiving!
On this wonderful day, we give thanks to God for all His wonderful blessings: life, faith, family, friends, food, and so many blessings we receive each day!
Especially, we give thanks for the blessings that we receive and share in our beloved country. We pray for peace and for the two National Guard Troops who were shot in Washington, D.C. yesterday.
For many years, I have found it helpful on this day to re-read President Abraham Lincoln’s “Thanksgiving Proclamation” – of October 3, 1963 – giving us Thanksgiving as a national holiday and reminding us that the blessings we share, “are the gracious gifts of a Most High God…” In case you’re not familiar with it or haven’t read it, click here.
