~2nd Harvest Food Pantry~

There's going to be a lot of traveling and a lot of feasting this week. I'll be visiting my folks down in Cross Plains. There's a reason we celebrate this holiday with family. They are one of our greatest blessings. Keeping your eyes fixed on what you have to be grateful for is good for you, but it's incomplete unless we actually thank God, from whom receive all good things.

Every day of life is a gift from God, worthy rendering thanks to God. This is the holiday when we focus all of our attention on learning to live in gratitude. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Christ’s Peace,

Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789 By George Washington, the President of the United States of America, 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….

A Proclamation. By the President of the United States of America. October 3, 1863

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 a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. … 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 one 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. …. By the President: Abraham Lincoln

NATIONAL BIBLE WEEK WE are celebrating our 78th National Bible Week NOVEMBER 24th through the 30th to honor God’s Word. The U.S.

CATHOLIC COUNCIL OF BISHOPS has designated this week also for all U.S. catholic’s to celebrate GOD’S WORD. Join us and others around the world, as we celebrate the Bible and participate with us as we honor the scriptures

through the International Day of the Bible on Sunday November 24th, 2019. HOW IT ALL BEGAN. Since 1941, starting with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, every US president has declared the week of

Thanksgiving, National Bible Week. This, our 78th year, we again commemorate and honor God for giving us His Word. On Sunday December 7th, 1941 the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) which was a leading national radio

station at the time, invited the founders of the National Bible Association to open programming for the day which was Sunday. As they began their reading bulletins came in from Hawaii announcing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Instead of just opening the day with one Bible reading NBC then asked the National Bible Association to continue reading the Bible all day between the bulletins about Pearl Harbor.

About the same time, the leaders of the National Bible Association were invited by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to come to the White House for the following day to present him with a Bible to inaugurate the first National Bible Week. When the attack on Pearl Harbor was announced the founders sent President Roosevelt a telegram telling him that they and the nation would be praying for him and that of course they would not attempt to come to the White House.

Radio stations across America piggybacked on NBC’s programming at this point as they were only one of the few broadcasters nationwide who at the time had same day international coverage. So that day, Americans heard the comforting words of the Bible as they contemplated the worst single day foreign attack on US soil in history.

This is the telegram the new National Bible Association sent to President Franklin D. Roosevelt telling him that because of the attack on Pearl Harbor, they

did not want to take up his time at the White House.
