96 [link removed] Friend,
Kelly and I
wanted to take a moment to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving from our
family.
I posted a short message on social media today, and simply
quoted the Apostle Paul in his important reminder to the church:
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians
5:16-18)
In America, it has always been a critical part of our
history and tradition to remember and recount the blessings and
providence of our Heavenly Father.
In the fall of 1789, Congress
asked President George Washington to issue that first Thanksgiving Day
proclamation, as a reminder not unlike the one issued by Paul.
Washington wrote that we a have a duty to "render unto Him our sincere
and humble thanks for His kind care and protection," for our
Constitution, "for the civil and religious liberty with which we are
blessed," and for so much more.
I'm so grateful to stand with
patriots like you, Friend, who still understand and cherish these
extraordinary blessings.

In spite of
the great challenges we are facing as a nation right now, we can never
lose sight of what we have and what we must fight to preserve. By God's
grace, we will.
May God richly bless you and your family this
Thanksgiving!
