Here's wishing all of you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. I hope that you will take some time today to thank your Heavenly Father for his bounteous blessings and loving care.
"It has seemed to me fit and proper that they ['gracious gifts from God'] should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens." — October 3, 1863 - Abraham Lincoln Thanksgiving Proclamation
