Not Turkey day it is Thanksgiving - Setting up Stones


Listen Later

Thanksgiving Day Special - We look back at Washington's Proclamation of Thanksgiving and encourage each other to have thoughtful conversation this Thanksgiving Day.

 

In the bible we read of God telling us to "set up stones" These would be stone monuments that people could take later generations to, so they would remember powerful things God did for them because like them, we forget.

As time goes on, we remember less and on the verge of forgetting things like

  • Peral Harbor
  • Holocaust
  • 9/11
  • When these tragedies happen, we could never imagine forgetting them, but we ultimately do as a people.  We set up memorials and monuments to remember.

    Holidays - As Memorials in Time.

    • Veterans Day - Originally Armistice Day which celebrated the peace after WW1
    • Independence Day - Now known as 4th of July
    • Lincoln and Washingtons birthdays - Now Presidents Day
    • Thanksgiving - Turkey Day
    • We will go through Washingtons Thanksgiving Proclamation and highlight the vision he had to have our country thank God once a year.  How lost have we gotten from that original desire?
