I don’t think there is a better day to preach than thanksgiving. It is still strange to me that a culture as lost as modern American has the best secular holiday. The day itself and everything said about it in the past and at its founding is a great text. If you are listening to what Washington, Lincoln, Coolidge, FDR, the Pilgrims wrote and said you can’t avoid the cross and grace and the mystery of giving thanks at all times…because it is all in the Father’s hands.
