My very wise and beautiful daughter...

... has once again set the record straight for those who have picked at her and made fun of her and supposedly called her "ignorant" for using her own mind.


My daughter voted for the candidate of her choice, and while I didn't agree with her, it was HER choice and one that she researched to her satisfaction.


Why is it that when people differ, it makes others want to call names and act like the children we are supposed to be raising?


Does it mean that I will be hateful and disrespectful when talking to her because of her choice? No.


Does it mean that she will be disrespectful and hateful to me because of MY choice? Again, no.


So why is it, that people that should be pulling together at a time of crisis that America is in (and probably will be for awhile- NO ONE (except the Lord) could get us out as quickly as we need to be), are now verbally attacking each others right to speech and right to freedom? Aren't these rights that we have as American people? I do believe so.


Why can't we, as a group of people, all work together...


Once again, we can use the Bible as our guide...


In Romans 8:28, we see that...


"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [His] purpose."


So now, instead of bickering amongst ourselves about who was right and who was wrong... let's pray for the man that God has chosen to be the head of this country. No one said we must agree with everything that is said or done, but keep faith in your hearts and know that God knows what He is doing.


God knows what He is doing.


~Blessings~

  1. Yes, you are correct when you see a nation divided. My heart breaks because my candidate lost and I'm concerned for the future. But we all know that God is all powerful and knowing.


    As I said in my many posts, It's time to move forward and come together in prayer, while also following Gods lead and His teachings.


    We don't have to follow any sinful ways or teachings of a man, but we should respect him and stand behind him if he is trying to help our country and come together in prayer.


    While I will not follow everything our president says and does, I know that God has given me a purpose and a plan, that He has also called me to be an example. So pray for President Obama I will.


    Blessings. I do hope that your daughter can move forward and that we as a nation can start moving together to be respectful to one another.
