There is much to be Thankful for

“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 implore His protection and favor.”
-George Washington, 1789

“Give thanks in all circumstances”
-1 Thessalonians 5:18

Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to come together and give thanks to God for His divine providence. Through our triumphs and tragedies, victories and defeats, and highs and lows, the love God has for us remains unchanged. As we near the end of 2008, I am thankful for the mental, physical, and spiritual health of myself and my family. I am thankful for having the opportunity to represent you as a public servant in Washington, D.C. I am thankful for the many prayers and well wishes I have received from you that confirm my calling into public service many years ago. And, even as we confront the new challenges (both foreign and domestic) that lay ahead with a new President, I remain thankful for the opportunities that will present themselves in the coming year to confront those challenges.

I am honored to represent the 24th District of Texas, and appreciate your interest in my e-newsletter.  Please contact my District or DC office with any further questions you may have or visit my website at www.marchant.house.gov.
