Thanksgiving Day has been officially celebrated as
an annual tradition since 1863. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of
"Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the
Heavens".
America went through extreme turmoil during the Civil
War. I can’t imagine the despair and death that filled our country. Yet at the
end of all the devastation, Abraham Lincoln still praised God. Because, God remains
the same. No matter what we do on this earth, God does not change. He continues
to bless us and love us. He gives the gift of salvation to a world lost to sin.
On this day, I’m thankful for the love of family and friends and the grace and joy
that God brings to my heart.
Praying that we all enjoy a peaceful Thanksgiving,
filled with blessings.
The traditional American
Thanksgiving usually includes turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie. What do you eat
on the day of thanks? Turkey or ham? Maybe pasta?
usually the traditional.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that I ate ham at Uncle Darryl's. And it was good.
