The roots of the American Thanksgiving holiday celebration are

found in the faith of our American Founders and Forefathers.
For many people, like the pilgrims and puritans, it was the quest
for religious freedom that brought them to America. Yet it was
their faith in God that brought them through the tests and trials
of day to day life.
A fitting way to begin this November, the month in which

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, is to look at some of the
words of famous Americans regarding their deep faith in
God and their thanks for his blessings!

Samuel Adams Thanksgiving Proclamation

That all the People may with united Hearts on that Day express a just Sense
of His unmerited Favors:
Particularly in that it hath pleased Him, by His over ruling Providence to
support us in a just and necessary War for the Defense of our Rights and
Liberties;
by defeating the Councils and evil Designs of our Enemies, and giving us
Victory over their Troops
and by the Continuance of that Union among these States,

which by his Blessing, will be their future Strength & Glory.
Samuel Adams on behalf of the Continental Congress, November

3, 1778, calling for a day of Thanksgiving during the
Revolutionary War of the future United States of America
George Washingtons 1789 Thanksgiving 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 and 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 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
enable 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 has 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 show kindness to us), and to bless them with good
governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and
practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase 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.

day of October, A.D. 1789.
(signed) George Washington
William Bradford on Thanksgiving

William Bradford was governor of the Plymouth colony at the
first American thanksgiving in 1621.
He wrote the following in Of Plimoth Plantation
They begane now to gather in ye small harvest they had, and to

fitted up their houses and dwellings against winter, being all well
recovered in health & strength, and had all things in good plenty;
For as some were thus imployed in affairs abroad, others were
excersised in fishing, aboute codd, & bass, & other fish, of which
yey tooke good store, of which every family had their portion. All
ye somer ther was no want. And now begane to come in store of
foule, as winter approached, of which this place did abound when
they came first (but afterward decreased by degrees).
And besids water foule, ther was great store of wild Turkies, of which
they tooke many, besids venison, &c. Besids, they had about a peck a
meale a weeke to a person, or now since harvest, Indean corn to yt
proportion. Which made many afterwards write so largly of their
plenty hear to their friends in England, which were not fained, but
true reports.
Thanksgiving Thomas Jefferson
Adore God. Be just. Be true. Murmur not at the

ways of Providence.
Thomas Jefferson
Abraham Lincolns
Thanksgiving Proclamation
Abraham Lincoln was a man who learned to face
discouragement and move beyond it. Did you know that it
was Abraham Lincoln who, in the midst of the Civil War, in
1863, established the annual celebration of Thanksgiving?
Lincoln had learned how important it is to stop

and thank God in the midst of great difficulties.
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have

been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in
numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have
forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in
peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly
imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were
produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with
unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of
redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that [the gifts of God] should be
solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged with one heart and
one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow
citizens . . . 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.
