“ No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American People.
— Abe Lincoln, somehow figuring out a way to ask Americans to give thanks, despite a horrendous war. (From an editorial in today’s NY Daily News http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2009/11/26/2009-11-26_a_nation_blessed_on_americas_day_of_thanks_we_have_much_to_be_grateful_for_.html). Despite some sad realities, I truly am thankful for all I have. Happy Thanksgiving!!
