    Happy Thanksgiving to all. Just finished helping my son-in-law hang up a really nice buck in my barn. Admittedly, he and I have been at odds since he started dating my daughter. She is smart as a whip and didn’t even try in school and still killed it. My rule, which I’ve since changed is I’m not paying for the wedding if you don’t finish college. I was dead wrong and wanted her to do better than her parents. I’ve preached forever that you don’t need a degree to do well but you do need a skill. Fast forward 7 years her family makes more than mine. Full disclosure my son-in-law works for Stellantis but she is doin well also. Finishing up her teaching degree. So to summarize, I’m thankful I now have a relationship with Dalton because I tried to have one with my wife’s Dad but we were too far apart. I was envious of my friends who did things with their in-laws. Besides he fathered my three grandkids and that is a gift. If I knew how much fun they were I would have had them sooner.

    I am thankful this will be my fourth Thanksgiving in the great state of Indiana after 73 Thanksgivings in Illinois. Grateful for our nice home and wonderful neighbors here in a state that in most cases reflects the same values as mine and not the "free stuff" voters from Chicago. Jim.

    Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789

    By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

    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 tranquility, 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.
