On this Thanksgiving, thank God for the greatest blessing…. his love and for freedom under God for all people. Not what we have to say about our blessings, but how we use them is the true measure of our Thanksgiving. May we think especially about our country and give thanks for it. LINCOLN’S THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION (condensed version) The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. We so constantly enjoy these bounties that we are prone to forget the source from which they come. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that these gifts should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one 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. And I recommend we fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! -- source link
