<p>There are big plans for big dinners, time with family, and of course, football.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft  wp-image-1272" style="margin: 5px;" alt="cornacopia" src="http://confidenceandjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cornacopia.gif" width="144" height="144" srcset="https://confidenceandjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cornacopia.gif 180w, https://confidenceandjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cornacopia-150x150.gif 150w" sizes="(max-width: 144px) 100vw, 144px" /></p>
<p>Then, grab your wallet and dive into the Black Friday sales. Oh wait! Many of those begin on Thursday. I guess we probably don&#8217;t want to call it, &#8220;Black Thursday,&#8221; do we?</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it great that we don&#8217;t have to wait all year for one special day to be thankful? We can express our gratitude to our heavenly Father every day. We all have much to be thankful for.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m posting some history for the blog this week, including <a href="http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/firsts/thanksgiving/thankstext.html" target="_blank">George Washington&#8217;s Proclamation in 1789</a>. Also some history behind the <a href="http://www.allabouthistory.org/mayflower-compact.htm" target="_blank">Mayflower Compact</a>, and, the <a href="http://www.libertyunderfire.org/2011/11/1430/" target="_blank">Pilgrim&#8217;s Failed Social Experiment.</a> Check the links below; you may find these interesting, especially the way some winds are blowing these days!</p>
<p><strong>Have A Happy And Blessed Week!</strong></p>
