A Prayful Thanksgiving

Even when petitioning Divine Providence for our needs, were are implored to thank heaven for the blessing which we already have. 

"Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens".

In the midst of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation for a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens".
