Let's give thanks
| |||||||||||||||||||
Friends,
Thanksgiving
offers us invaluable time to spend with our family and reflect on our many
blessings. In 1789, George Washington declared a day of national Thanksgiving
for our new country to render unto God our "sincere and humble thanks for His
kind care and protection."
But
even before that first proclamation from a new nation, pioneers across America
celebrated Thanksgiving as a time to give praise to God for full harvests and
Divine Providence.
And
indeed, America has been richly blessed. From coast to coast, we enjoy an
abundance of natural resources, plentiful harvests, beautiful cities and our
most precious gift of all—a people who value liberty and continue to stand as an
example to the world of all that can be accomplished by a free and hard-working
people.
This
Thanksgiving, join me in a moment of prayer to give thanks for the thousands of
American men and women in our armed forces who will spend Thanksgiving away from
their homes and families, facing danger overseas to protect our way of
life.

When
we sit down to enjoy a family meal on Thursday, I will give thanks to God for
the blessing of a strong and diverse family life that has taught me so much
about loyalty, selflessness, and compassion. I will pray for God's continued
blessings on my family, and on yours, and on this great nation of
ours.
From
my family to yours, God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving!
With
an Alaskan heart,
Sarah
Palin
