During this unimaginable time in our history, when ruling elites in government and media are using fear and false narratives to censor our speech, deprive us of our basic rights and freedoms, and to keep us from gathering together to worship and fellowship, let us shake off that oppression by giving thanks, celebrating and recommitting ourselves to fighting to protect our freedom and our great nation!
Let us celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing on America’s shores to flee political and religious oppression and to secure greater opportunity for generations to come.
Let us give thanks to God for those courageous settlers who braved the unknown, including threats of disease without the benefit of social distancing when they boarded the crowded ship to pursue the destiny of a new nation founded on Christian principles under God.
Let us give thanks for all who have willingly laid down their lives and freedoms to secure our nation during wars and against threats to our national and personal security and safety.
Let us give thanks to God for a nation, imperfect though it might be, whose founding documents recognize and protect our equality under God and our liberty to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
Let us even give thanks for the threats against our liberty and freedoms, as they remind us that we can never take them for granted.
Let us give thanks for the silent majority (although we are growing louder) of patriots fighting to protect our great nation from threats against our liberty from fraud, corruption, and overreach. Let us vow to do all that we can to be counted among those patriots. We ask for God’s wisdom and continued grace and blessing on our great nation.
We wish all a very safe, healthy, and joyful Thanksgiving. As a special, treat, Eagle Forum Chairman, Anne Schlafly Cori, a world-class chef, and daughter of Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly, would like to share one of her favorite Thanksgiving recipes. Although forces are working to divide us as never before, may the celebration of food, friends, and family remind us that we are still one nation under God, united in giving him thanks for America!
Faithfully,
Colleen Holcomb
