Give Thanks

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. . .
Now, therefore, I do appoint Thursday, the 26th day of November 1789 . . . that we may all unite to render unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection.


- George Washington, first federal Thanksgiving proclamation



May your heart be encouraged and strengthened as you give thanks to God for His provision and providence!
