This Thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for. Thank you God for saving us from four more years of Biden/Obama. Thank you Lord Jesus for giving us a Trump win in the 2024 Election.
Abraham Lincoln started the tradition of Thanksgiving in the United States more than 150 years ago.
On October 3, 1863, expressing gratitude for a pivotal Union Army victory at Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln announces that the nation will celebrate an official Thanksgiving holiday on November 26, 1863.
The speech, which was actually written by Secretary of State William Seward, declared that the fourth Thursday of every November thereafter would be considered an official U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving. This announcement harkened back to when George Washington was in his first term as the first president in 1789 and the young American nation had only a few years earlier emerged from the American Revolution. At that time, George Washington called for an official celebratory “day of public thanksgiving and prayer.” While Congress overwhelmingly agreed to Washington’s suggestion, the holiday did not yet become an annual event.
AMEN!!! And thank you Joe for the posts exposing and alerting readers to the real and present danger assaulting our nation. Today we stand at the precarious point that President Lincoln faced with those determined to destroy our UNITED States of America. Thank the good God above that we have President Trump and his cabinet and millions of loyal patriots to keep our UNION secure. Freedom is not free and today we thank God for our blessings but let us remember those who gave their lives so we can maintain the culture and faith of our nation!
