A Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer

My Creo en Dios! blog post this morninig (which you can read in its entirety here) quote's Washington's 1989 recommendation that this day be observed “as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God.” Washington’s proclamation asked the American people to “beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.”

Individually and collectively, we have much for which to give thanks. Among the people in my life for whom I give thanks are my MOJ friends, who continually help me grow.  Thank God and thank you.

Blessings to all of our MOJ friends on this Thanksgiving Day.
