Absolutely! President Abraham Lincoln established Thanksgiving as a national holiday during the Civil War as a way to unite and heal the nation. Regardless of our personal beliefs or political ideologies, this holiday is a timely reminder of the importance of expressing gratitude for our blessings and seeking unity and harmony. We can honor Lincoln’s legacy by reaching out to those around us, setting our differences aside, and nurturing a spirit of thankfulness in our hearts. Whether that’s through a festive meal, acts of service, or simply expressing gratitude, we can make efforts to further the values of unity, gratitude, and empathy this Thanksgiving.
