"The Holy God having by a long and Continual Series of his Afflictive dispensations in and by the present War with the Heathen Natives of this land, written and brought to pass bitter things against his own Covenant people in this wilderness, yet so that we evidently discern that in the midst of his judgments he hath remembered mercy, having remembered his Footstool in the day of his sore displeasure against us for our sins, with many singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion, and regard; reserving many of our Towns from Desolation Threatened, and attempted by the Enemy, and giving us especially of late with many of our Confederates many signal Advantages against them, without such Disadvantage to ourselves as formerly we have been sensible of, if it be the Lord’s mercy that we are not consumed, It certainly bespeaks our positive Thankfulness, when our Enemies are in any measure disappointed or destroyed; and fearing the Lord should take notice under so many Intimations of his returning mercy, we should be found an Insensible people, as not standing before Him with thanksgiving, as well as lading him with our Complaints in the time of pressing Afflictions."
Discuss.

Did we really need another thread about illegal immigrants coming in and taking over the country? Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear God,
Please make the Steelers lose so that my ex will be disappointed.
Bespeaking my thankfulness,
Chrissy
P.S. I have misplaced my sweet potato casserole recipe; have mercy O God, I am afflicted.

The dear wife is making a full Turkey dinner with all the trimmings, based on a 12-lb turkey. Only thing is, we've already had our Thanksgiving company, so we're going to be eating Thanksgiving leftovers for a week.
Now some people would see that as a problem, I suppose, but I tend to look upon it as an opportunity. Just one more thing to be thankful this season.
