Happy Thanksgiving
« on: November 27, 2019, 10:08:15 PM »
I what to wish everyone here and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving.
An explanation of the two pictures posted;

!st one is from Abraham Lincoln on his October 3, 1863 "Thanksgiving Proclamation" [ took some history/constitutional courses from Hillsdale College via the internet and they sent this;  it was relevant then and it sure is now.
2nd picture - Norman Rockwell painting and the two seniors have always reminded me of my grandparents - Thanksgiving was always at their house with immediate family.
All gave some -- Some gave all    Humbled to be one of the 33 original members of the Coast Guard Honor Guard, started in 1962.

No traveling for me. I'm meeting up with my equally curmudgeon brother to drink beer and tell lies. Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

We're going to JF's new house to feast.  First time in a long time we're having Thanksgiving not-at-home.

I am Blessed and have many reasons to be thankful.

I wish the same for y'all.

This’ll be the first year in many that Thanksgiving won’t be at our house with me deep-frying the turkey. We’ve got our house on the market, and I simply didn’t want to prep, work, or mess to deal with. So my daughter and her hubby are hosting.

You all have a blessed day. Gratitude is a prime virtue, and it’s nice to have a day centered on that fact.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Headed over to my big brother and the rest of the family with pies and wine in hand...hope everyone has safe travels, good fellowship and good feasting!  I am grateful for the many blessings I have!



Thanksgiving Proclamation
[New York, 3 October 1789]
By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Had family out the wazoo here. It all just helps reinforce my belief I'm blessed way more than I deserve.

We are also blessed with not suffering under the insufferable Manchurian and instead have a mensch at the helm.
