Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

As I was working this morning, and wanting to get in a Christmas mood, I was listening to an amazing, beautiful rendition of Handel's Messiah. Knowing your Holy Bible is a good way to know Him. There is a wonderful God-sighting in this version: At 53:06 minutes in, you have the words from Isaiah 53:6 - "And We like Sheep Have Gone Astray" being beautifully sung. Did Handel pull off something like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon synching with the Wizard of Oz, or is this the Lord using some of the most beautiful & worshipful music to point at His Glory? To me there is no doubt that Handel knew the Lord! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFjQ77ol2DI

Merry Christmas!

Who is in need of a bit of Hope, given the state of the world? 🕊

Let’s have a bit of fun today. 📯📯📯

Like any gift, this one I have for you is wrapped up. You’ll have to do some unwrapping, unboxing, reading, playing along. I hope to surprise and delight you, and along the way show you that today we really do have a wonderful gift in the Christmas story.

Ever feel like you were a lone voice crying out for justice?

Luke 3:1-6

3 A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Isa 40:9-11

Whatever gift you’ve been given, it can play a bigger role than you think. https://youtu.be/00gXEn1ehDg

Charles Shultz used his gifts to provide a message that he fully expected to be censored but it wasn’t. In fact, if you remove this scene, the entire story falls apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVp5AGte_4Q

Luke 2:8-20 Why was the first public announcement made to shepherds?

Genesis 3:14 The livestock were cursed… “The Lord made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.” - Gen 3:21 Abel was the first shepherd and he “…brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.” Gen 4:4 Abel continually acknowledged his fallen state, but Cain didn’t. Abel died as the first human casualty of a war between brothers that has been fought ever since. Both the innocent lambs and the innocent shepherd were killed because man desired to know good and evil…so have we learned yet?

The Story of the Shepherds.

Shepherds are God’s warriors. They are to be fearless. Don’t be afraid. Notice that when Linus was proclaiming what Christmas was all about he dropped his blanket?

Shepherds carry 2 sticks: a rod and staff. The rod is for fighting, the staff is for teaching/disciplining. The rod is for outside the house. The staff for inside.

In Hebrew “God” is referred to as EL - aleph-lamed. In Ancient Hebrew (what Moses would have wrote in) the aleph is an ox-head and the lamed is …a shepherd’s staff. This is why David said in Psalm 23 “The LORD is my shepherd…”

This might be useful… https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/alphabet/hebrew-alphabet-chart.htm

Anyone who thinks God doesn’t have a sense of humor should be reminded that Scottish shepherds invented golf…or did David use his staff as a driver? True story, I spent one night sleeping on a well cropped sheep pasture. I thought I was on a luxurious putting green!
