Father explains Benjamin Franklin’s 1728 Thanksgiving Prayer to the family just before their turkey dinner.
Happy Thanksgiving this coming Thursday to our listeners in the United States and to all who celebrate it wherever they live.

To celebrate this, we are skipping ahead about 30 episodes so we can hear the Thanksgiving episode now, instead of in July.
