Happy Thanksgiving! (Rebroadcast)

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is at the top of our favorite holiday list!

NOTES:

Here is Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Here is the article about the Mother of Thanksgiving and Abraham Lincoln.

RECAP & TAKEAWAYS:

  • Giving thanks is a command from the Lord. And, we have so much to be thankful for! Don't let any opportunity go by without give thanks.
  • Thanksgiving is one Christian idea that mixes with difficulty with the American narrative. Colonialism and imperialism were already present in the earliest thanksgiving. U.S. History with Native Americans does not necessarily reflect Christian values.
  • Abraham Lincoln's proclamation called for contrition and repentance rather than feasting. He, of course, was in the midst of the Civil War. Humility will always become God's people.
