Here is a quote from this talk which I think is pretty good: Today, some think that Thanksgiving Day should not be connected to God the Almighty but only to country and history. Let me share with you what George Washington had to say in his October 3, 1789, Thanksgiving 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; both Houses of Congress have, 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.
