Because Thankfulness Unifies

I read through a brief history of Thanksgiving today....from the pilgrims through our wars as a nation and the times different Presidents or Congresses have issued proclamations about it or set a date to observe it and what has been stated....speeches delivered.  It is pretty inspiring stuff!

It seems our country's leaders have consistently acknowledged that the barometer of our thankfulness...and I will add....thankfulness to God....has shown our nation's ability to be and stay unified during and after very trying times as well as in times of peace and plenty.  I think that is a good thing to consider right now while our nation is reeling after the election and needs unification.  Lord, help us unite in our Thanksgiving and stir our hearts to give you the honor and adoration you deserve for the abundance our generation has always enjoyed.
