I found this picture of a proclamation by the governor of New Hampshire in 1827. I love old documents like this. Click on it to see a larger version if you can’t read this one.
Below it I added a funny little Thanksgiving prayer adecdote that I found online too.
This Thanksgiving anecdote was simply emailed to the web site owner and he relayed it on his site:
My family traditionally begins the evening meal with a prayer of thanks. When they were old enough, we began letting our children say the meal prayer. Of course at first they would ask for a pony, a new bike, etc. They soon learned the more important things that should be included in the prayer.
At Thanksgiving we had the whole family over. My nine year old wanted to say the prayer. It went like this:
“Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the turkey, the rolls, the mashed potatoes, the red jiggly stuff, and the bread stuff even though I don’t like it. We ask that You not let us choke on this food.”
(Most of us nearly choked just trying not to laugh!)
