Tuesday Night Special!

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving day, oh my …… so excited!

Did you know ……

In October 1789, in the midst of the gruesome Revolutionary War, President George Washington issued the first presidential thanksgiving proclamation as a day for giving thanks to that “great and glorious being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be. . . .”
That same year, the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which President Washington was a member, announced that the first Thursday in November would become its regular day for giving thanks, “unless another day be appointed by the civil authorities.” President Washington declared that both Houses of Congress asked him “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 and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. . . .”

Many years later, President Abraham Lincoln declared a national Day of Thanksgiving during the Civil War, in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) and just days after visiting the sobering battlefield at Gettysburg where he had delivered the timeless Gettysburg address.

Thanksgiving is perhaps one of the most treasured holidays of America. Even in the most difficult of times in our nation’s history, Americans taken a day to reflect on God’s many blessings and thank Him for His care and gifts. When you sit down at your family table this year, make sure you remember the holiday isn’t only about food and fun, but a time to say thank you for all that you have.

Where would I be without Him …… He rescued me.

This I know and feel down into the depths of my soul.
I have so so much to be thankful for and I will never forget who gives me the strength, hope, faith and heart every day.
