“...But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” [Joshua 24:15]

Let us all give thanks to our Creator, let us pray that God will cause our nation to return to the roots that our founding fathers laid down.

Thanks for finding and posting this. God Bless you, your family and this country Scott Ploss

“Grant Me, Lord, ardently to desire, wisely to study, rightly to understand and perfectly to fulfill that which pleaseth Thee.” So Mote It Be.

Mike, Maybe we should send a copy of this newsletter to the white house.President Obama Says we are not a Christian Nation, He needs your insight into history!

Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!

Mike you shold send a copy to SEN. H. Reid and Cong. N. Peloise. These people have forgotten the roots of this nation and that is why we have fallen out of favor.

What has happened to our great nation? Have our elected officials studied any of these documents that our founding fathers so passionatly wrote? We have turned into nothing but cry babies and finger pointers, quick to lay blame and never happy with what we work hard for to earn. To me, it's apparent that God was an integral part of the foundation of this nation, unfortunatly, our elected officials have long forgotten that fact.

God Bless America, thank you Mike.

May we all remember our great heritage and be ever thankful to our Lord for this great nation, and the freedoms we enjoy, for family and friends, and for our Christian heritage. I'm grateful we have a national Holiday set aside for giving thanks to our God.

It is evident that the Lord has revoked the promise of his protective covenant from our Nation. George Washington's comments however inspirational and eloquently written, also leave me with a broken heart. It is a pity that our government has deviated so far from the principles established by our founding Fathers. Yet, at the end of the day, we still hold the title of the Greatest Nation on Earth. I am proud to be an American!

...But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord as well. Happy Thanksgiving.

Be careful of how many people see this; they may try to ban the mere mention of Thanksgiving as they have tried to do, with limited success, with Christmas. May God bless, as well as help, our nation.

What a magnificent thought at this time when our Nation is so lost and confused.

Thank you Mike for this reminder of our Godly hearatige and the direction our forefathers lead us and intended for us to follow.

God is in control and that is why People are placed in positions of power. We must fall away so that Isreal is left alone to prepare the way for the Lords return. Amen

Thanks Mike for the reminder that this country was built on the Word of God. As secular society tries to remove God from everything, we need to know that the freedom we have comes not only from those who gave their lives for this country but also from a God who gave us the freedom to enjoy His goodness and grace.

A little more History By the President of the United States of America.

A Proclamation.

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.

By the President: Abraham Lincoln

Thanks for the reminder Mike, how far we have strayed in just a couple hundred years. God bless business men such as yourself who are Proud to be Christian!

amen!

Mike, thanks for posting this article from G. Washington's 1789 Proclamation. I believe that we sometimes tend to loose sight of what our founding fathers beliefs were and that through those beliefs we became a great nation. We are all here only because of our Creator & we all need to give thanks to Him for what we have.

It is truly a shame that so few politicians as well as ordinary American citizens have managed to hold onto the proper ranking of the true prioroties in life that were so much a part and staple of our everyday lives, even before the founding of our great nation.

"HAPPY" Monents, "PRAISE" God! "DIFFICULT" Moments, "SEEK" God! "QUIET" Monents, "WORSHIP" God! "PAINFUL" Monents, "TRUST" God! Things this country stop practicing!!!!!!!

"HAPPY" Moments, "PRAISE" God! "DIFFICULT" Moments, "SEEK" God! "QUIET" Moments, "WORSHIP" God! "PAINFUL" Moments, "TRUST" God! Things that this counry stopped practiclng!!!!!

Someone asked what has happened to our country, it is we that has happened. If everyone that lives in a state that has a congressman that is not supporting our desires for a christian nation and our morals, we should be contacting them that they work for us and remind them that elections do continue to come around. We need to hold them accountable and carry through if they are not.

Us too!!!!

Mike, I love it when you post things like this. Its a shame when you look at where America started and where she is now. Its time we Christians stand up and be heard. We are still one nation under GOD, we just need to start actting like that again. " We My people which are called by My name shall humble themselves...." Thanks Mike. Happy Thanksgiving & Merry CHRISTmas

Thanks for an uplifting message.
