“Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving” (PSALM 95:2). Is giving thanks to our Great God important in our lives? Let’s go back in time about 150 some years ago, when one of our most notable American Presidents led our nation in special thanksgiving to Almighty God! Washington, D.C. October 3, 1863 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation “I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”
