Good morning, this is Congressman Rick Allen and I’d like to wish everyone across Georgia’s 12 District a Happy Thanksgiving. This special day is a powerful reminder for us to reflect on the blessings we have received, to cherish the love of family and friends, and to appreciate the many freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

As it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” On this special day, let us embrace this call of gratitude and recognize life’s many blessings. Let us honor the sacrifices made by those who defend our nation and let us share our blessings with those in need by spreading joy, kindness, and compassion throughout our communities.

As Chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, if you or someone close to you is in need of prayer, please submit a request on my website so that my colleagues and I can lift you or a loved one up in prayer.

Happy Thanksgiving, and may God Bless you and our great nation.
