Thanksgiving Day approaches, not much has been in the news about it. There’s been more discussion about the Black Friday sales following Thanksgiving than Thanksgiving Day itself! Is this American national holiday not important anymore? Why is Thanksgiving being forgotten?
When Thanksgiving first became a national holiday in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln called it “a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.”
President Lincoln’s proclamation also said: “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 … [by] the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.”
