Podcasts about thanksgiving proclamation

Start with gratitude, end with courage, and ask the question most people avoid: what truly holds a nation together when belief splits it apart? We open with prayer and a difficult headline, then move through Scripture, memory, and history to test our assumptions about coexistence, liberty, and the cost of conviction.The Song of Solomon brings the beauty of covenant love into focus—a reminder that delight and fidelity are not in tension but in harmony. From there we turn to Revelation's trumpets, a bracing vision of judgment that restores moral weight to public choices. Psalm 136 answers with a cadence of gratitude, line after line proving that memory is fuel for hope. Proverbs asks for two rare gifts—truthful speech and enough—offering a counterculture ethic in an age of excess and spin.We sit with the Medal of Honor story of Second Lieutenant John Paul Bobo, whose final stand under fire embodied duty without complaint. That witness reframes our own thresholds for sacrifice and service. Finally, James Madison's Thanksgiving Proclamation calls the nation to fasting, confession, and wisdom in public councils, pressing the point that faith has always shaped American life. Along the way we share practical steps: start a lifelong gratitude list, teach courage with true stories, and seek sufficiency that strengthens integrity.If these themes challenge and encourage you, tap follow, share this episode with a friend, and leave a rating or review so others can find the show.

In the spirit of George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation, giving thanks to God reminds us that gratitude is not only a personal virtue but a foundation for national character. Washington recognized that the blessings of peace, liberty, and opportunity were not earned by human effort alone, but were gifts worthy of humble acknowledgment. Following his example, we pause to express our thanks to God, both for the visible blessings that shape our daily lives and for the unseen guidance that sustains us through challenges. In doing so, we honor a tradition that calls us to humility, reflection, and renewed commitment to the greater good. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

On this Thanksgiving podcast, we review the Thanksgiving Proclamation issued by our nation's first president, George Washington, in which he admonished Americans to thank Almighty God for His many benefits and to render our National Government our gratitude, honor and respect as citizens. This is why we should all be shocked by the reckless and seditious acts of members of our Congress calling upon military personnel to "refuse illegal orders" and "unlawful commands" from the duly elected President of the United States.

Start with a question most of us avoid: how did you really spend the last 24 hours? We walk through an honest time audit that confronts distraction and resets our days around a sturdier compass—God's Word, prayer, and the lordship of Jesus. Instead of guilt, we aim for recalibration: like a farmer checking a furrow or a night patrol stopping to confirm its bearing, we pause, adjust, and move forward with purpose.From there, we step into the poetry of Song of Solomon to recover the craft of honoring marriage. The language is ancient, but the wisdom is modern—speak life, delight in your spouse, and treat covenant love as a treasured garden. Then our gaze lifts to Revelation 5, where only the Lamb is worthy to open the scroll. The scene is blazing with worship, angels, and a new song that reframes our priorities: when Jesus is at the center, every lesser idol loses its hold, and courage grows.We keep the thread of unity with Psalm 133 and Proverbs 29, urging believers to major on core truths—Christ's deity, His death and resurrection, and salvation in Him—while pursuing justice that comes from the Lord. Finally, we draw strength from history with William Bradford's Thanksgiving Proclamation and the Mayflower Compact, reminders that gratitude and covenantal responsibility can shape homes, churches, and nations. If you're ready to trade noise for clarity and division for harmony, this conversation offers practical steps and deep encouragement.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

The histories we are most familiar with place the origins of Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and their 1621 harvest feast with the Wampanoag people. However, the root of the November celebration of Thanksgiving is more accurately attributed to George Washington and his Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789. The heart of the message and of the holiday was not about food, but about humbling ourselves and giving thanks to God. "Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation."

Special Guest Host Ken Hensley steps in for this Thanksgiving episode, offering a heartfelt blend of history, spirituality, and everyday gratitude. He shares George Washington’s proclamation, stories from his journey into the Catholic faith, and invites real voices to express what they’re grateful for. Listeners hear reflections on happiness, faith, and the surprising joys found in trusting God. Thanksgiving Proclamation by President George Washington (03:51) Pascal's Pensées 425 (21:00) What are you thankful for? Charlie – I had gone through a crisis of faith, and I came up with the belief that God doesn't judge us by the religion we practice but rather by how we live. I don't identify as Catholic anymore, but I think spirituality is really important. (23:59) Steve - I am thankful to God for many things! Lumen Gentium: Has the Church defined what it means to be aware of the need for the Church for Salvation? (37:13) Sal - Thank you, Jesus, for my wife who is in heaven now. (47:28)

What if your calendar is the clearest confession of your faith? We open with a simple challenge—look at the last 24 hours—and follow the thread into the heart of discipleship: loving God first and making your spouse unmistakably second. Along the way, we share a sticky marriage reminder that's hard to forget: be like a dog, not a cat. Warmth over coolness, pursuit over distance, eager presence over polite detachment. That small shift can change the tone of a home.Scripture lifts our eyes. Song of Solomon stirs holy pursuit, and Revelation 4 brings us into the throne room, where crowns fall and holiness saturates every breath. In that light, anxiety loses its grip and pride shrinks to size. Proverbs warns that fearing people is a snare, but trusting the Lord brings safety—wisdom for families and citizens alike. We then step into history with George Washington's 1795 Thanksgiving Proclamation, a bracing call to acknowledge divine favor, resist the arrogance of prosperity, and guard against delusive pursuits. The words feel strikingly current, aiming at the heart of our civic malaise.We don't shy away from naming a quiet danger: Christless conservatism—the attempt to defend virtues while neglecting the Source. Policies matter, but without Christ at the center, zeal hardens into self-righteousness and gratitude evaporates. We honor courage with a brief Medal of Honor spotlight, a reminder that character is forged in ordinary obedience. By the end, the path is practical and hopeful: start and end with prayer, choose presence over hurry, greet your spouse with delight, cultivate public gratitude, and keep Christ at the center of your home and your nation.If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Thanksgiving is a time that was established originally under the 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation of George Washington to give thanks to God for all of the provisions we have and to be in peace. In 2025, Thanksgiving is prefaced with unending political drama, political hatred, and political stunts. This is all done to sow division when families come together. Set the stupid aside and focus on each others hearts this Thanksgiving. Time to heal and build bridges.  #BardsFM #BuildingBridges #ThanksgivingFromTheHeart Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

In honor of Thanksgiving, Rochelle Porto takes us further back in history to the Pilgrims. We look at their overcoming nature, the cultural bridge that was built with them and the native Americans, and their authority given by the King for self rule. All of these things set a foundation that would come to define the American spirit, the eventual rift between the colonies and the United Kingdom and the roots of the Declaration of Independence. We close with readings of George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789 and Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of Thanksgiving. #BardsFM_OurSacredHonor #ThePilgrams #Self-rule Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Send us a textStart with a simple audit: what did your last 24 hours reveal about what you truly value? We walk through a practical reset—putting God first, then spouse and family—so your calendar aligns with your convictions. From there, we open Colossians 3 for plainspoken marriage guidance and let 1 John 3 challenge our love to become action, not talk. If faith is real, it should shape how we treat our neighbor, how we spend our money, and how we order our homes.We ground today's anxieties in enduring wisdom. Psalm 122 points us toward worship and peace in the city, while Proverbs 29 warns against stubborn hearts that refuse correction. We remember Boatswain's Mate Robert M. Blair, whose Medal of Honor citation for “cool courage” under fire illustrates how trust in God steels ordinary people for extraordinary moments. That courage extends to cultural clarity: despite modern efforts to cast America as a pagan echo of Rome, the moral sources that formed the founders—Scripture, Blackstone, Montesquieu—bear a Christian imprint. Judge Nathaniel Freeman's early remarks reinforce that aim for a Christian republic with biblical authority in civic life.The heart of our reflection is Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation. He names blessings amid civil war, urges penitence for national sins, and calls the people to thank the “Most High God” while seeking healing and unity. His words carry weight now, when polarization and moral drift threaten peace. Gratitude without repentance is thin; repentance without action is hollow. We make the case that daily obedience—time well spent, marriages guarded, neighbors loved—becomes the seed of public renewal. Join us as we trade vague outrage for concrete faithfulness and ask God to steady our steps.If this resonates, share the episode with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a moment.

Join us for today's sermon podcast, where we delve into the powerful message drawn from Apostle Paul's prayer in Ephesians, urging believers to share the gospel fearlessly and with clarity. This episode explores the intersection of faith and patriotism, challenging the notion that Christians cannot be patriotic. Emphasizing the true meaning behind the phrase "God Bless America," we reflect on what spiritual blessings are essential for our nation and how we, as Christians, can be good stewards of our nation and faith. Through the lens of biblical teachings, we address the importance of prioritizing God's kingdom and His righteousness in our lives and communities. We draw inspiration from historical figures like George Washington and explore how reverence for God's Word, house, and will can lead to national repentance and renewal. This sermon encourages us all to live out our faith actively, becoming salt and light in our communities and leading our nation back to its spiritual roots.   “America – God Shed His Grace on Thee” “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…” -  Psalm 33:12 Main Idea: The true blessing of a nation comes not from power or prosperity, but from honoring God through repentance, righteousness, and the faithful witness of His people. Introduction: What Do We Mean by “God Bless America”? - Matthew 6:33 “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.” — George Washington, Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1789 “Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?” — Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1785 “God Bless America” with Spiritual Blessings - Proverbs 14:34 a. Recover Lost Values Micah 6:8 “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.” - George Washington b. Recover the “Faith of Our Fathers” The Mayflower Compact (1620) began with a covenant “for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith.” “To the distinguished character of a Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of a Christian.” — George Washington c. Rebirth of Reverence For God's Day (Sabbath), God's Book (Scripture), God's House (worship), and God's Will (obedience). Hebrews 10:25 “The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease.”— Calvin Coolidge, 1924 III. “God Bless America” Should Also Mean “God Save America!” 2 Chronicles 7:14 a. From Moral Decay Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. - 1 Peter 2:11 (NLT) “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven... but we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace... and we have vainly imagined... that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.”  — Abraham Lincoln b. From False Ideologies and Religions Colossians 2:8 “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” — John Quincy Adams “God Bless America” Through the Church - Matthew 5:13–16 a. The Church Must Lead in Repentance and Renewal “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams, 1798 “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.” — Benjamin Franklin, 1787 b. Faith Must Be Active James 2:17 “I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men.” — Benjamin Franklin, June 28, 1787, Philadelphia Constitutional Convention Conclusion: A Call to Hope and Holiness - Psalm 33:20–22 America's hope is not in her wealth or might, but in her Maker. “If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” Ronald Reagan, 1984 Call to Action: Pray for national repentance.

Be salt and light in a darkening world.   Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect

In this reflective episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we delve into the profound words of Samuel Adams as he presents the National Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1777. This historic document calls upon all individuals to recognize and express gratitude for the divine providence of Almighty God, particularly during a time of conflict and uncertainty as the American colonies sought independence.Adams emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the blessings received, from the support of troops to the success in their just cause. The proclamation invites citizens to set aside December 18th for a solemn day of thanksgiving, urging a collective expression of gratitude and a commitment to divine service. As we explore the language of this proclamation, we uncover the deep intertwining of faith and governance during a pivotal moment in American history.Join us as we reflect on the themes of humility, national unity, and the pursuit of liberty, all framed within the context of a heartfelt supplication for God's continued blessings on the fledgling nation. This episode serves as a reminder of the foundational values that shaped the United States and the enduring significance of gratitude in our lives.Continue learning with these resources (some affil links):Black Robe Regiment: https://youtube.com/shorts/RGqW8rT6flQ?feature=shareLives of the Signers: https://amzn.to/3W1uBjGAble and Mighty Men: https://amzn.to/4fFaeQkThe Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States: https://amzn.to/4gZx1XUFor You They Signed: https://amzn.to/3DAc4EPIf you enjoyed this episode and wish to support our mission to share these inspiring stories, please consider contributing through the following platforms:▪️Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/wanderingpilgrims▪️Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWanderingPilgrims▪️Shop: https://teespring.com/stores/the-wandering-pilgrims▪️Our Website: www.thewanderingpilgrims.comConnect with us for more content and updates:▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewanderingpilgrims/▪️Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/The-Wandering-Pilgrims-581206039071736/

There are over twice as many unemployed twenty-somethings as there were four years ago! That's a 200% increase in the unemployment ratio! Is there any reason to sit around and twiddle the thumbs? Opportunities are always everywhere. Kevin Swanson interviews Russ McGuire on his mentorship of young men through entrepreneurship. How does a young man learn entrepreneurship, and what does it take to succeed? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Joe Biden pardons his son, Homosexual couples adopt at 7x the rate as heterosexual couples, Biden censors God in Thanksgiving Proclamation) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

It's Tuesday, December 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Chinese democracy activists get prison time The Chinese Communist government in Hong Kong has sentenced 45 democracy activists to prison time. The activists had participated in a political party for a primary not approved of by the state. At least two Christians, Benny Tai, age 60, and Joshua Wong, age 28, were among those sent to prison. Finnish officials cancel concert featuring Handel's Messiah A school in the former Christian-influenced nation of Finland cancelled a concert featuring segments of Handel's Messiah.  According to a news report from the Helsingin Salomat paper, the cancelled concert would have been a joint performance by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and the Helsinki Chamber Choir. Biden-Harris Dept of Ed. persecuting Christian colleges The American Principles Project has released a report charging the Biden administration's Department of Education with persecuting Christian colleges. The report cites that nearly 70% of penalties imposed by the Department of Education's Office of Enforcement has been against Christian institutions and career colleges, even though these schools represent less than 10% of college students. And, within the last year, the Biden-Harris Department of Education imposed record fines against two of the nation's most prominent Christian universities.  It fined Grand Canyon University a whopping $37.7 million for allegedly “not fully informing” students about the costs of its doctoral programs on its website. University officials “categorically” denied the allegation. And the education bureaucrats levied a $14 million fine against Liberty University for alleged violations which stem from a failure to comply with crime-reporting requirements.  The Department's penalty, the largest ever for the category, hardly fits the accusation— especially considering steps the school voluntarily took to remedy its reporting and agreed to spend $2 million towards “on-campus safety improvements and compliance enhancements.” By comparison, Michigan State University was only fined $4.5 million in 2019 for failing to report sexual abuses by former team doctor Larry Nassar, who assaulted hundreds of victims The fines of the Christian colleges amount to more than all other penalties assessed by the Department of Education over the past seven years. Also, the report points out that funding for the heavy-handed enforcement has increased from $4 million to $61 million just since 2023. Planned Parenthood gave hearts of aborted babies to scientists Stomach-churning emails show Planned Parenthood negotiating terms regarding the donation of aborted fetuses for medical research, reports the New York Post. The emails discuss fetal tissue like any other commodity such as sugar or rice, nonchalantly negotiating for dead babies who were alive up to 23 weeks gestation from elective abortions. A heavily-redacted so-called “Research Plan” submitted to the University of California San Diego Institutional Review Board, and approved in 2018, states scientists wanted 2,500 dead babies from up to almost the sixth month of gestation for experimentation.  The plan gruesomely states, “We will collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego.” Although selling fetal tissue is illegal, donating it is not illegal. The contract between University of California San Diego and Planned Parenthood appears to allow Planned Parenthood to retain “intellectual property rights” relating to the fetal tissue, although it also does not grant the school the independent right to “commercialize” the tissue.  David Daleiden, pro-life journalist and the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, obtained the emails by filing a California public records request. Let's remember the words of Psalm 94:2-3, 6-7, 8-10.  “Rise up, O Judge of the Earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! O Lord, how long shall the wicked exult? They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and they say, ‘The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.' “Understand, O dullest of the people. Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who disciplines the nations, does He not rebuke?” Joe Biden pardons his son In a surprising turn around, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, of several firearms charges, and “all crimes committed between 2014 and 2024,” which could have added up to 17 years prison time, reports The Associated Press. Gun control has played a major part in the 4-year Biden administration. Between 1993 and 2008, while serving in the US Senate, Joe Biden voted against gun rights on all nine bills presented. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas cheered him on. CROCKETT: “Way to go, Joe. Let me be the first one to congratulate the president for deciding to do this. Because, at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon that is about to walk into the White House. So, for anyone that wants to clutch their pearls now, because he decided that he was going to pardon his son, I would say, take a look in the mirror.” But Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, was aghast. JENNINGS: “This is the worst possible thing a president could possibly do to his party and to the country. To sit for a year and say, ‘I will not do this. The rule of law is sacred. We have to respect the justice system. We have to respect juries. We have to respect the guard rails and the norms of our democracy.' “These people are liars. Inflation: it's transitory. Afghanistan: it's a success. The border is secure. Robert Hur is a liar. The videos are cheap fakes. Biden has a cold. He'll never drop out. ‘Oh, I'll never pardon Hunter.' It's all a lie. It is all a grift. “Every American -- except the most partisan, brain-rotted people -- are going to be outraged by this today. He's disgraced. Joe Biden, [White House Press Secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre, how many minutes of tape do we have of both of these people telling the American people this will not happen? We could play it all morning. And it's a lie to benefit his own family. “He's drained every ounce of credibility from every surrogate. If Karine Jean-Pierre had an ounce of self-respect, she'd get off the plane in Africa today, where they're going so he can avoid the press, and resign. He's drained all of her credibility and everybody else who's defended this.” Interestingly, prior to the election, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, President-elect Donald Trump said he would consider a pardon for Hunter Biden. Biden censors God in Thanksgiving Proclamation In other President Biden news, for the second year in a row, he issued a Thanksgiving proclamation completely avoiding any mention of God, reports Breitbart. Thus far, only Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden have left God out of Thanksgiving. Romans 1:21 explains that “although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Homosexual couples adopt at 7x the rate as heterosexual couples And finally, courts are awarding homosexual male couples and  homosexual female couples living together in sin with adoptions at seven times the rate of heterosexual married couples, according to recent data from the Census Bureau.  A full 21% of homosexuals living in a sinful relationship have adopted children.  Tragically, the Mark Regnerus study conducted in 2012 found that 8% of children raised in homosexual homes are victims of incest.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

God calls us to be a thankful people (1 Thess. 5:18), and such thanks was powerfully modeled to us by the Pilgrims in Plymouth in 1621. Following a harsh start where half their number died due to sickness and starvation, they gathered the next Fall to celebrate God’s goodness. Joined by local Indians such as Chief Massasoit and Squanto, they feasted, played games, and gave thanks to their Maker for blessing them with an abundant harvest. In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Al Burke, give practical tips on how to celebrate Thanksgiving Day as a family. Along with fitting songs to sing, they suggest fun games to play rooted in Pilgrim history, special Psalms to rehearse, and Thanksgiving Proclamations and other period accounts to read aloud—all designed for families to enjoy a rich and memorable day of thanks together.

Are you unknowingly relegating these vital aspects of life to the background as the demands of modern living take over? We promise that this episode offers a heartfelt reflection on how aligning one's life with faith in God and Jesus Christ can illuminate your path, especially within your family and community. Jesse emphasizes the irreplaceable role parents play in modeling strong faith and nurturing marriages, urging listeners to reclaim these responsibilities from societal institutions and refocus on what truly matters. Through personal stories and insights, this episode challenges you to examine whether your daily actions reflect a deep, genuine relationship with God or are simply perfunctory routines.Take a closer look at Abraham Lincoln's 1864 Thanksgiving Proclamation with us, uncovering its deep spiritual resonance and historical significance. Lincoln's heartfelt gratitude for the nation's preservation during the Civil War shines through as he attributes these blessings to Almighty God. Drawing parallels with Old Testament themes of humility and penance, the proclamation serves as a powerful reminder of the fortitude required during times of national trial. By setting Thanksgiving as a moment of collective prayer and reflection, Lincoln emphasized unity and peace, themes that continue to speak to the core of our national identity. Join us as we explore how these time-honored ideals remain profoundly relevant today, inspiring gratitude and faith in our own lives.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer embarks on a journey that traces the origins of the first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims in the autumn of 1621. This first Thanksgiving came as a result of a harsh 1620 winter, where as many as half the original colonists died. It was after a strong crop harvest the following year that the Pilgrims decided to hold a day of celebration and prayer, and they invited their Native American friends, who had helped them along the way, to join them. Fast forward 168 years, when our nation's first President, George Washington, issued the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789, which described in its opening sentence what the occasion was all about. President Washington wrote: “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…” Seventy-four years later, Abraham Lincoln in his 1863 proclamation urged all Americans to observe the last Thursday of November “… as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.” The fact that Lincoln could call for such a day even during the sufferings of the Civil War demonstrates how much he believed that all our blessings came from the “Most High God.” With this act, the American tradition of Thanksgiving was ensconced into our culture. May we never forget.

On this Thanksgiving in America we want to release proclamations over our nation and remember all that the Lord has done for us.  Both President Washington and Lincoln declare our thankfulness to our Lord on this special day.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you this year.  2023 has been unbelievable.  I wanted to revisit George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation with you on this wonderful holiday.  I am so thankful and grateful for all of you in this audience, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday with friends and family. “A Day of Thanksgiving” George Washington first mentioned the possibility of a national Thanksgiving Day in a confidential letter to James Madison in August 1789 (just months after taking office), asking for his advice on approaching the Senate for their opinion on “a day of thanksgiving.” By the end of September 1789, a resolution had been introduced to the House of Representatives requesting that “a joint committee of both Houses be directed to wait upon the President of the United States, to request that he would recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving.” The committee put the resolution before the president and George Washington issued the first national Thanksgiving Proclamation within days. George Washington knew the value of a thanksgiving day long before becoming our first president. During the Revolutionary War, he would order special thanksgiving services for his troops after successful battles, as well as publicly endorse efforts by the Continental Congress to proclaim days of thanks, usually in recognition of military victories and alliances.

The story of our nation is one of courage, heroism, and devotion to God.Perhaps most of all, it is the story of God's gracious hand upon a people who sought to honor Him.Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.The Proclamation I read today can be found herehttps://pilgrimhall.org/pdf/TG_First_National_Thanksgiving_Proclamation_1777.pdfJoin us at our Faithwalers Conference, December 27-30, in Black Mountain, NC. Go to Faithwalkersconference.com to learn more and to registerWho do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To become a TSCM Ministry Partner, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/supportTo find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TicTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher Have you read my book, "Takin' it to Their Turf"?If not, you may request a copy on my website, www.TomthePreacher.comWe send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email.************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

Thanksgiving Day in the USA - Using the Thanksgiving Proclamation from President George Washington, let us learn to give thanks for specific gifts from God and do so knowing that we represent many others (our family, our friends, the Church, our country, the whole world).

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is at the top of our favorite holiday list! NOTES: Here is Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation. Here is the article about the Mother of Thanksgiving and Abraham Lincoln. RECAP & TAKEAWAYS: Giving thanks is a command from the Lord. And, we have so much to be thankful for! Don't let any opportunity go by without give thanks. Thanksgiving is one Christian idea that mixes with difficulty with the American narrative. Colonialism and imperialism were already present in the earliest thanksgiving. U.S. History with Native Americans does not necessarily reflect Christian values. Abraham Lincoln's proclamation called for contrition and repentance rather than feasting. He, of course, was in the midst of the Civil War. Humility will always become God's people.
