Friends, Happy Thanksgiving 2024!
I wish you a grateful, blessed, joyful, peaceful, love-filled, and delicious Thanksgiving.
I hope your Thanksgiving weekend is filled with rest and relaxation, laughter and conversation with family and friends, and reflection on all of the blessings in our lives.
Americans can be universally grateful that we have a holiday called Thanksgiving. It’s a pretty great thing that we live in a country that observes an annual holiday dedicated to thanking God for His abundant provision, mercy, protection, guidance, and goodness.
Recently I realized that Thanksgiving shares surprising similarities to Independence Day (beside that they are my two favorite holidays!). Both holidays exist to honor God’s place in the very identity of America. Both require humility, trust, and bravery.
Thanksgiving in 1621 happened because of the bravery and trust in God’s care of those who came to America in pursuit of freedom to worship as they chose. Despite their suffering during the journey to America, and struggles during their first year here, they chose to humbly thank God for His care in what we now call The First Thanksgiving.
On July 4th 1776, our founders humbly yet bravely pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to declare and then commit to fight for their independence from the British Crown, for the purpose of creating a new nation rooted in the fundamental, eternal truth that we all have inalienable rights from Our Creator. They saw that the primary purpose of governments on earth is to protect God-given individual rights.
Historically, America’s very identity is tied to recognizing that we need God, need to be free to worship Him, should trust in and rely on Him, should be grateful to Him, and must bravely fight to preserve the precious God-given freedom bestowed on all.
I am grateful for your support of my AmericaCanWeTalk show, and for your activism in preserving America.
Happy Thanksgiving.
