KFDM COOP Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Giving Thanks Thursday is Thanksgiving. Amidst all the hooplah and anticipation of the upcoming games, don't forget to pause and give thanks for all our blessings. Friends, family, home, job, that kid who can't wait to get out on the field this weekend. With all the things going on in our lives, we are truely blessed to be Americans and live in a country that, although it has its faults, is indeed the best country on the face of the Earth. And while you are reflecting on the things for which you are thankful, don't forget our troops in harm's way that won't be home to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families, and the families who will be observing Thanksgiving with pride and sorrow, knowing their loved one paid the ulitmate making and keeping this and other countries free. I thank God for his Son, for my family, my health, my freedom, and my friends who are as close as family. Happy Thanksgiving to all who read this thread. And may God bless you and your family.

dme1111 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 This is Abraham Lincolns declaration of the thanksgiving holiday. I think is true today as it was then The year that is drawing toward 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 can not 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 theater of military conflict, while that theater 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 defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well as the iron and coal as of our 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 battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness 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 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 imposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the divine purpose, 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 3d day of October, A. D. 1863, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth. Abraham Lincoln
