My How Things Change!

Our first President as were most of the framers of our Constitution was unlike so many politicians today. He was a Christian with a deep faith in God.
On October 3,1789 he made the following proclamation: "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---I do recommend and assign (this day of public Thanksgiving) to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of that great and generous Being who is the Beneficent author of all 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 care and protection of the people of this country."
It was not until 1944 during WWII that Congress permanently set aside the fourth Thursday of November as our official Day of Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately our courts and many elected public servants are daily trying to erase the idea of God from our lives today. I for one will continue my praise and thanks to God even if I have to do it in secret some day.
All the atheists and agnostics can look to today as only a day off from work with football and lots of food and drink, but there will be many who will thank God for the blessings he has bestowed on us.
