Happy Thanksgiving
Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2018 3:07 pm
It's difficult in today's age, when we are told there is so much we don't have (usually spoken with political motives), to maintain an 'Attitude of Gratitude'. But I hope that when you lay your head on the pillow tonight you will have at least once either prayerfully thanked or simply dwelled for a moment on all we have in this country.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
