We have a LOT to be thankful for. Especially the fact that the Demonics didn't steal the election this time, and we're not in danger of becoming Venezuela yet.

I truly believe every Christians prayer helped the cause. Unlike Sodom and Gomorrha God found more than one believer.

I have faith in our immediate future that the perverse will not become the norm.

Don't eat too much turkey and don't drink to excess and don't fight with your Liberal relatives. Don't gloat or talk politics with them.

God Bless every Citizen! Now, pass the cranberry sauce!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

I'll take some pecan pie, if you don't mind. And as a native Texan, it's pronounced peh-khan, not pee-can or pe-khan. The pecan tree is our State Tree.

You're welcome.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Agree with all. Let's put ideological differences aside and enjoy some family time and food comas.

Kachelman: Thanksgiving Day: A Celebration of America’s Greatness – One Nation Under God

Quote:A brief historical synopsis of Thanksgiving Day can be found in a general internet search. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists from England were joined with members of the Wampanoag people and shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged as the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. Contrary to the evil revisionists, it was not celebrating oppressive events where one group took advantage and enslaved another group.

Early Colonial history records that days of “thanksgiving” to the Lord God Almighty were celebrated by individual colonies and states. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Quote:THANKSGIVING DAY 1789
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - A PROCLAMATION

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 - and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "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 signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

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 – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war –for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions – to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually – to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed – to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord – To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and Us – and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. GO. WASHINGTON.

Separation of church and state is a lie from the 1940s.

Peh-khan, puh-khan. They're interchangeable, really. lol

Sweet potato pie trumps pecan pie anyway.
