Blessings from Swami Vidyadhishananda
http://spiritualportal.net/index.php/topic,5815.0.html

Quote
Adorable friends and families,
 
I convey my heartiest wishes and earnest blessings to you as we begin the holiday season with Thanksgiving. May your holidays be instilled with positive thinking, filled with gratitude and the spirit of sharing. 
 
Milk was ready before we opened our eyes. During our innocent years, we relied on our parents and caregivers for food while being completely surrendered in faith. We cried earnestly and food was served. Some of us threw tantrums and yet were pacified.

Similarly no matter what fears of sustainable livelihood arise due to extremely challenging circumstances and uncertain future, we must surrender in faith to God. This way we can test the blessings of grace when earnestly crying for inspiration amidst diligent hard work.

These difficult times provide an opportunity to express our gratitude and harness our humane qualities. Choking with fear and splitting with worries can be overcome by converting our humane qualities to a divine experience of grace, lest we are brave to transform our fear of God into a love of God.

Imbibing the spirit of gratitude when we are deprived and manipulated allows us to stand up with moral courage while deepening faith in God. Each one of us have been given some special quality upon which we can rely during crises as we collectively continue our inner journey toward God with forbearance and faith.

Thanksgiving is meaningful if elements of gratitude hidden within our humane character drive the spirit of sharing and make us experience the elements of grace. One who receives the grace of God is thus empowered to serve God evermore. One who rests in God will have salvation added to one’s journey – this might be a testable hypothesis for some, but a fact of life for an experienced devotee.

Let your circle of care not only include people in need, but all other beings of our habitat, including birds and animals who want to thrive just like us.
 
With abounding holy blessings on behalf of my meditation lineages,
Swami Vidyadhishananda

Here's one I think you will really like Steve,
Thanksgiving Proclamation, October 3rd 1789 New York George Washington
Quote
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 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 which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, 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 hath 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 shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease 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.

It’s kind of a day to remember October and November
Days still hold a place that last in memories past
Of people met here still I think how unusual
So many gifts of themselves they have given
And now I know though many are gone
The meaning of love they brought
That I cherish in all life’s various plays
Brought to us on Gods ever changing stage

Earth entities invited me over for thankful turkey dinner because they had no turkey. They ate chicken of the sea and tried to feed me rooster of the nest. I resisted though because back on my home planet we are vegans and on our sister planet Duzuldorfin the entities are highly evolved and live primarily on cosmic manna prepared from celestial beings.
