HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2014 From Scared Monkeys … Thank You

MAY ALL OF YOU HAVE A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING …

Please remember today, as you spend time today with family, friends and loved ones while feasting on turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry and pumpkin pie and maybe watching some traditional turkey day football, please take the time to think about what you are thankful for and give thanks to your blessings. We all have something to be thankful for, sometimes we just all too soon forget.  As President Ronald Reagan said on Thanksgiving Day 1986, “Perhaps no custom reveals our character as a Nation so clearly as our celebration of Thanksgiving Day. Rooted deeply in our Judeo-Christian heritage, the practice of offering thanksgiving underscores our unshakable belief in God as the foundation of our Nation and our firm reliance upon Him from Whom all blessings flow.”

Thanks to all at Scared Monkeys who make it happen!

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, October 3, 1789:

By the President of the United States of America, a 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 favor, able 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 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 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 shown 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.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

A Veterans Day Prayer from President Ronald Reagan

Since our current president was in China and too busy to lay a wreath at The Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetary, maybe a prayer from a true Commander in Chief is required. The following is a prayer from President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Chelsea Bruck’s family hasn’t heard from her since Saturday night when she left for a Halloween Party on Post Road in Frenchtown Township.

Bruck was last seen wearing a “Poison Ivy” costume consisting of black pants and a leaf-covered top.

“The big concern is she doesn’t drive. Friends left and we don’t know how she got home, who she was left with, what time she left. Her friends had her phone, had her bag, so she doesn’t have that for us to contact her. But she obviously hasn’t borrowed anyone else’s phone to post on her Facebook or to call,” Leannda Bruck said.

Family members and police have been searching by foot, ATV and by air throughout the area.

UPDATE II: Sketch released in case of missing Monroe Co. woman.

A close family friend tells NBC24 that they and authorities plan to pursue new leads Wednesday as tips have started to come in regarding Chelsea Bruck’s disappearance.
