Visitor Thanksgiving put up by John L. Kachelman, Jr.
A short historical synopsis of Thanksgiving Day will be present in a normal web search. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists from England have been joined with members of the Wampanoag individuals and shared an autumn harvest feast that’s acknowledged as the primary Thanksgiving celebrations within the colonies. Opposite to the evil revisionists, it was not celebrating oppressive occasions the place one group took benefit and enslaved one other group.
Early Colonial historical past data that days of “thanksgiving” to the Lord God Almighty have been celebrated by particular person colonies and states. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a nationwide Thanksgiving Day to be held every November.
Right this moment the Thanksgiving Vacation’s unique intent is scorned. Respect and reliance upon the Lord God Almighty has fallen to the bottom ranges in our nation’s transient existence. Right this moment, God is erased and the vacation is used to denigrate the storied non secular historical past of “Thanksgiving.” Right this moment, any vestige of adoration for the Almighty’s providential provisions is banned. As an alternative of the devotion of the Plymouth colonists there may be written into the narrative the nauseous, blasphemous revisionist historical past of oppression and bloodshed of the “white settlers” whose racism was cloaked in following God.
America’s greatness outcomes from many elements. Here’s a few that instantly come to my thoughts. You’ll be able to add to this checklist.
This Thanksgiving, Rejoice America’s greatness as a result of…
God “shed His grace upon thee”!
“If we ever neglect that we’re one nation underneath God, then we can be one nation gone underneath” (Ronald Reagan). President Reagan was not ashamed to emphasise the significance of religion and the function of faith within the nation he liked. Reagan knew that if a nation forgets its God-fearing basis, it loses its id, values, civility and even its existence. “One nation underneath God” implies {that a} sturdy religious basis is important for a nation’s prosperity and continuity. The residents of America ought to by no means be embarrassed or ashamed as a result of God had shed His grace upon our nation!
Our nation’s Founders utilized the Holy Scriptures as the muse for nationwide legal guidelines that commanded tradition and controlled morality of the ruled and the governing. There was an unashamed announcement of our nation’s dependence upon the windfall and provisions of the Lord God Almighty! The legal guidelines and ethical expectations, communicated by God within the Holy Scriptures, have been taught verbally and seen visibly within the college rooms.
A nation “underneath God” by no means embraces the biblical “abominations” at this time that in instances previous have been mentioned in whispered tones. The greatness of America’s civic tradition wis rooted in a respect for the Bible’s precepts and rules.
A nation “underneath God” will elect representatives who are usually not intimidated to silence their perception in and reliance upon the Almighty God.
A nation “underneath God” may have a continuing reminder of our dependence upon the Lord God Almighty. Respect for the Almighty’s provision can be invoked in political assemblies, sporting occasions, and civic gatherings. Blasphemous is the notion that “a second of silence” is for every to wish to his personal god!
This basis “underneath God” is so revered that even the mundane actions (similar to consuming a meal or tucking a baby into mattress at evening) is not going to proceed till the Almighty God was thanked for His provisions and pleas have been made for His care.
A nation with out God is a God-less nation!
It acknowledges individualism! Our nice nation was based upon the truth that the person is able to making private decisions. That is opposite to different nations denying individualism and forcing residents to adjust to authorities’s dictates. Individualism navigated our economic system to greatness. Every citizen is accountable for his decisions. The “blame-game” excusing uncivil and ungodly habits is absurd. All are accountable for their private selection in both following the governing Regulation mandated by the U.S. Structure or selecting to serve Self by disrespecting others. And this results in the subsequent level…
It grew to become a “melting pot” forging a tremendous nationwide delight. Each citizen swelled with delight as a result of all melded into ONE nice nation! On the nationwide stage we’re “The UNITED States of America.” We’re united in a resolve to additional the nationalism that introduced our nation to worldwide preeminence. This united resolve doesn’t erase the person’s heritage. Such remains to be celebrated however is NOT compelled onto society. All are keen and keen and proud to be “Individuals”!
It offered exceptionalism. The society, tradition and spirit of the residents mixed in an brisk nationwide delight and respect to never-before-seen heights of world affect.
Its colleges educated pupils. The foundations of absolute truths in science, historical past, and fundamental morality have been taught by certified educators. Colleges anticipated good citizenship from college students. The nationwide greatness was seen because the each day homeroom intervals in public colleges pledged allegiance to the nation’s flag, recited the Lord’s Prayer, and browse a portion of Scripture. It was frequent to see the Ten Commandments posted in lecture rooms as a reminder of the morality anticipated within the native colleges and within the nation. The nation’s greatness is memorialized with statutes, plaques, parks, and different gadgets that served as reminders of America’s previous and challenges the residents to be taught from the previous and make the long run stronger.
Its civility is exclusive. The nation’s governing was designed to disregard class distinctions the place the Elite reside off the frequent residents—ALL are equal in ALL points of citizenship. Evil has traditionally challenged this level and is simply too prevalent at this time.
America’s greatness rejoices in feats of patriotism. Residents applaud acts of heroism that assist and strengthen the governing Structure of the US of America. Consequently, the citizen is “proud” to be an American! The “heroes” are those that sacrifice for the nationwide delight and never these headlined in an ungodly anarchy.
It continues to progress, however solely underneath the Constitutional governing! This requires correcting the injustices of pompous conceitedness by those that see themselves elite and aloof from the frequent citizen. The Constitutional governing secures, for each citizen, the essential rights endowed by the Creator upon every citizen!
Be Grateful for America’s Greatness
Those that got here to America…
…got here looking for the liberty FOR non secular perception and observe as directed by the Holy Scriptures;
…got here looking for the liberty FROM the governing Elite who considered them as chattel present solely to feed the Elite’s greed;
…got here looking for the setting the place individualism excels into exceptionalism!
They usually succeeded!
However evil continues to suppress the biblical basis of our nice nation. The political oppression of the person is contrived to destroy America’s greatness. We’re threatened with smug mandates denying residents life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The desire of the voters is hijacked by the backroom dealing politicians refusing to yield to a authorities of the Individuals by the Individuals and for the Individuals.
It’s tragic to confess the truth that these elected are documented in at this time’s historic file as ruling opposite to the US Structure. As an alternative of “we the individuals” governing our nation, we’ve got politicians governing opposite to their constituency’s wishes. And the politicians who disagree stay silent and change into simply as accountable because the vocals for downgrading America’s greatness.
Therefore, the November 2024 election was an awesome nationwide mandate to the political Elite and Bureaucrats from the residents to “Make America Nice Once more”!
America! On this Thanksgiving Vacation, allow us to have a good time our nation’s greatness with thanksgiving to the Almighty God. That celebration should emphasize our standing as “one nation underneath God.” Solely as we press for a returning to the historic basis, upon which our “Thanksgiving Day” was based mostly, will there be blessings!
As a nation we should fortunately have a good time the greatness of our nation BECAUSE we acknowledge and undergo the windfall of the Lord God Almighty of Scripture. Once we acknowledge the Divine Windfall, we’ll bow a knee and be grateful in coronary heart to His provisions.
Failure to honor the Almighty or a refusal to show from erasing God in tradition, invitations dire calamities and inevitable erasure as a nation. Jeremiah 18:8, “if that nation in opposition to which I’ve spoken turns from its evil, I’ll relent of the catastrophe that I deliberate to convey on it.”
