The bloodied sun sinks in the west
And lights us all with glory;
Here sleep the brave in honored rest;
The bugler tells our story;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Shalom! On Passover may you rejoice in your traditions and always be blessed with the rich and bountiful gifts of life. Rabbi Philip R. Alstat said that faith
gives the oppressed the strength to outlive the oppressors and to endure until the day of ultimate triumph when we shall “be brought forth from bondage unto freedom, from sorrow unto joy, from mourning unto festivity, from darkness unto great light, and from servitude unto redemption.”
And so, have faith! Blessed Passover. Continue reading

Anyone acquainted with Ireland knows that the morning of St. Patrick’s Day consists of the night of the seventeenth of March flavored strongly with the morning of the eighteenth.

George Washington was our First President of the United States and served from 1789 – 97. He is considered the “Father of our Nation.” He was born February 22 , 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia and died December 14, 1799 at Mount Vernon, Virginia. He was ambitious, honorable, and decent, but only wanted admiration and respect. He didn’t want to be king. He was the commander in chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolution (1775–83).

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

Today we take time to thank our Creator for all of our blessings, chief among them the privilege of being citizens of the greatest country on Earth. Let us bow our heads in gratitude for our precious Republic.
Thank you, Lord, for the United States of America where freedom reigns, forever, with Your guidance and help.
We here at WTPOTUS are thankful for our readers, commenters, fellow bloggers, and friends. We are also thankful for the opposition, because they make us think and keep us on our toes. As Greg Laurie recently wrote:
Sometimes what we think of today as bad may be ultimately good, because it changes who we are – for the better. And sometimes what we think of as good can be bad because it causes us to forget God and instead trust in ourselves. … [To] give thanks regardless of your circumstances requires the realization that God is wiser than you are. He is always dealing with you for your best eternal good. He will sort everything out. It is not for us to fret over.
It is, however, for us to persevere. And so we shall.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Keep the faith. Endure.
Open thread. If you like, in keeping with the spirit of the Day, please share with us your favorite recipe, or the typical Thanksgiving menu at your home, or your favorite Thanksgiving tradition. God bless all of you, and God bless the United States of America.
Let us take a moment today to reflect upon the sacrifices made by our Veterans and their families. We thank them for their courage as we honor them for their service to the United States of America.
