Same to you, ConfedSS, and to ALL on CC....! Enjoy the day.

Thanksgiving Day, a legal holiday, is observed on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day, people of all religions give thanks for the blessings they have received. Families gather together to commemorate the day around the table for a feast in which stuffed turkey, cramberries, rice, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie are among the traditional dishes, and apple cider a favorite beverage. Charitable organizations serve Thanksgiving dinners to the needy and send baskets of food to the aged and ailing. On this day, New York City holds a parade in which Santa Claus appears, heralding the pre-Christmas season.

Almost every culture in the world has held celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest. The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a feast of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.

Thanks Abraham Lincoln

The year that is drawing towards its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, the order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. The population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Highest 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. I do therefore invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

Proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln, October 3, 1863.[51][52]

Yes, I was rather sure that Thanksgiving fixed observance (the fourth Thursday of Novemver) was proclaimed by President of the United States.

btw: Many would argue that Lincoln was the GREATEST of our US Presidents. I have read 2 books recently that argued that point (among many other points).

The argument has been made that it was not FDR's Economic policies that ended the Great Depression, but WWII itself as:

1) it put many to work, and

2) production (using Federal Government spending) of arms and munitions and military equipment gave the private sector the capital investment needed to help many corporations.

Yes, the early FDR programs gave American HOPE when they needed it, but many were not overall that effective.

Let me look for evidence for my point. Here is one source, and NOTE what the source is:

Despite all the President's efforts and the courage of the American people, the Depression hung on until 1941, when America's involvement in the Second World War resulted in the drafting of young men into military service, and the creation of millions of jobs in defense and war industries.

https://www.fdrlibrary.org/great-depression-facts#:~:text=Despite%20all%20the%20President's%20efforts,in%20defense%20and%20war%20industries.

and, from same source:

Did the New Deal end the Great Depression?
Roosevelt's New Deal recovery programs were based on various, not always consistent, theories on the causes of the Depression. They targeted certain sectors of the economy: agriculture, relief, manufacturing, financial reforms, etc. Many of these programs contributed to recovery, but since there was no sustained macroeconomic theory (John Maynard Keynes's General Theory was not even published until 1936), total recovery did not result during the 1930s.

There is more to read on this brief article, btw.

Mobilizing the economy for world war finally cured the depression. Millions of men and women joined the armed forces, and even larger numbers went to work in

FDR made the Great Depression worse due to tightening of the money supply. This led to more bank failures, less trust and more pain.

Message from Jesus

Do not worry I have all things. My control is the ultimate in control. My storehouse is huge and endless to humans. Come to me, for I am the Great and Almighty God. I have ultimate power and control. Come to me your Lord and your God.

I am who I say I am the only Lord your God.

I have become aware, in recent years, of the criticism of the Economic Policies of FDR and how he really did not get this nation out of the Great Depression. He did change

1) the role of the Federal Government, and expanded it GREATLY;

2) attitudes of most Americans towards the Federal Government,

3) and helped make the nation more optimistic about the future, despite the delay in ending the Great Depression.

Here is another view of the role of FDR to worsen the Great Depression:

https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=111

Franklin Roosevelt “did bring us out of the Depression,” Newt Gingrich told a group of Republicans after the recent election, and that makes FDR “the greatest figure of the 20th century.” As political rhetoric, the statement is likely to come from someone who does not support a market economy. The New Deal, after all, was the largest peacetime expansion of federal government power in this century. Moreover, Gingrich’s view that FDR saved us from the Depression is indefensible; Roosevelt’s policies prolonged and deepened it.

There’s no doubt that Roosevelt changed the character of the American government—for the worse.

and much more.....

New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America Paperback – November 17, 2009
by Burton W. Folsom Jr. (Author)

A sharply critical new look at Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency reveals government policies that hindered economic recovery from the Great Depression -- and are still hurting America today.

In this shocking and groundbreaking new book, economic historian Burton W. Folsom exposes the idyllic legend of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a myth of epic proportions. With questionable moral character and a vendetta against the business elite, Roosevelt created New Deal programs marked by inconsistent planning, wasteful spending, and opportunity for political gain -- ultimately elevating public opinion of his administration but falling flat in achieving the economic revitalization that America so desperately needed from the Great Depression. Folsom takes a critical, revisionist look at Roosevelt's presidency, his economic policies, and his personal life.

And what do YOU, pee-rat, do to help those folks? I, the Sunday School teacher, do so 4 days a week, nearly every week*. Do you even drop a quarter into the Salvation Army Kettle near you? Please read Matthew Chapter 25.

* As stated elsewhere, I volunteer at our local Food Bank and help give away food one day a week, along with other duties. I was there yesterday, when we were closed this week.

And we at that local Food Bank gave away turkeys and other items, including a gift card, to help our "customers" have a Thanksgiving feast. And we receive LOTS of donations by many local folks, especially this time of year. For example, my school (where I teach Science) recently donated about 1,000 pounds of food.

Please avoid vomiting your vitriol in this thread, pee-rat.

You gotta love how these so-called Christians who announce and pat their own backs about how giving they are...as long as their church, synagogue, temple or whatever they worship to, hands feed those that are in need.

I come as a baby once again. As helpless and dependent on my Mother and father as any baby would. I come with great news of Salvation to all. Look to me and grow in ways not thought of. My grace is there for everyone. Turn to me and find me your Savior and your Lord. I am He that comes as a baby. Look at that little baby your Savior and your Lord. I come.

No, not Church, but a non-profit with many volunteers.

And you still did not answer the question: what do you do, pee-rat, other than insult and spew vitriol?

Do you help anyone? Guess NOT.
