This post is regarding the historical event of 1863.
It was the year that Abraham Lincoln, president of the Untied States of America, made Thanksgiving Day a national holiday. From that year to the present, the first Thanksgiving has never been forgotten.
While serving in the Florida Tampa Mission, I came across a file put together by a former Mission President's wife, Sister Burks. She had written the following words that I have adopted into my life.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday -
No Costumes
No gifts
No basket grass and half eaten
marshmallow eggs
No Mom's day guilt trips
No flags to fly
Just friends and family bowed together
before Heavenly Father.
