Sweet baby Jesus is no threat to Herod, no concern to the Pharisees when he’s dedicated in the Temple, no big deal to Rome except for tax identification, and no huge thing to those immediately around the Mary and Joseph that fateful night.
Hymns for the Public Thanksgiving Day: October 9, 1746
In 1746, as the title says, Charles Wesley printed a booklet of hymns for a public thanksgiving day. Granted, this is not the American day, which was not formally made a holiday until Abraham Lincoln signed it into law in April 1863. Nevertheless, we hope this selection from Wesley’s booklet will help you have a spirit of thanksgiving this season.
