GLENDA
Good Morning:
Today is President's Day. This day was set aside originally to celebrate the birthday of our first President, George Washington, and it was celebrated on the actual day of his birth. Primarily, for businesses and schools, which closed on his birthday, the day of celebration was moved to the third Monday in Feb.
Along the way, the name was changed to Presidents Day to include Abraham Lincoln whose birthday was also in Feb. Today, we primarily use this date to celebrate all US Presidents. Some folks don't like that because they don't like some of the Presidents we have had. However, we need to celebrate the Office of the President because we are fortunate to live in a country where the people still decide who holds that office. Therefore, as Christians, I think we should use this day each year, as a day of prayer for our President and for our country. God Bless America. Have a wonderful day!
