At the conclude of this Thanksgiving day, November 27th 2014, I am filled with thankfulness for many blessing which have been bestowed upon me. I can not sufficiently articulate the impact of the blessings which have been afforded me through my position in life; I was born in a free country, to wonderful God-fearing parents, with intellectual and beautiful siblings; I have had the privilege to gain an education, travel the world, and obtain gainful employment; I have been blessed with the influence of eclectic friends from varying backgrounds and ideologies. I am unable to describe the joy I have felt at these blessing; however, I would like to acknowledge the Lord's hand as the source of these blessings. For surely "all things which are good cometh from God" (Moroni 7:12).

I urge all to adhere to this nation's first President in his Thanksgiving Proclamation "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."

Happy Thanksgiving! May God bless us all!
