First Thanksgiving Proclamation
by: President George Washington, October 3,1789

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 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 a form of government for their safety and happiness.
NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th 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, 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... And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and subblications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions... 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... (and) to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among us... Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

I Exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

I Timothy 1:1-5

Sounds good to me

It sounded good to the founding fathers too. Not to mention the generations to follow until the sixties when my parent's and their generation fell off the deep end. Now there is such godlessness in our country that some people have lost all respect for the name of God. There was a time when sinful men were at least respectful of people who followed God. Now they blatantly despise us and mock us and come up with terms like Jesusland.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether if be good or bad.
II Corinthians 5:10

GOD IS NOT AMERICAN

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.
Titus 2:11

I agree
