Razorback 1,035 #1 Posted November 28, 2019 From 1789, George Washington..... I found this to be most excellent: “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…. 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 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 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 … and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord, to promote the knowledge and practice of the 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.” 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,350 #4 Posted November 28, 2019 That's something we should take to heart coming from a founding father. He is definitely one that knew why and how, and what for, this great nation was established. GOD bless the USA! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,035 #5 Posted November 28, 2019 I don’t know any “politicians” today that could even put together sentences and thoughts like that, much less acknowledge Who our blessings come from..... 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
