Prayer and Thanksgiving...So Integrally Linked

George Washington established a national day of Thanksgiving in 1789 with these words:
"..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..."

We will take time today to bow our heads...and offer thanks to God for all.
