history

after last night, i can honestly say i am a bit more proud to live in america.
i realize i have no clue what lies ahead for our country, but i am so pleased people felt enough responsibility to actually vote.
i realize for those who voted mccain, the time right now may not be as joyous.
however, i strongly feel there has to be a point where people accept what is and are hopeful for the future.
we have the ability to respect ANY individual elected as president even if we don't agree with all of the issues or the choices that may possibly be made.
hating and complaining will not move our country out of the trouble we are in.
no matter how small it may seem at times, the biggest act of faith and support we can provide is prayer.
i will pray for our country as a whole, i will pray for our troops, but overall, i will pray for our leader and the people surrounding him. may god be our power and may our leader listen to his guidance.
i will also pray, that when our country goes through difficult times, because we will, may we not point the finger and blame...but humble ourselves and ask god for his love and grace.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
