A Month of Thankfulness - November 3

 I have put off posting this today.

Why?  

Two reasons.  

One is that Gary and I took a road trip north to Green Oak and Rochester today, and we wanted to get an early start so I didn't sit down and think about my post for today.

Two is that once we returned home, I was very distracted by the election and trying to keep my mind off of it.  I took a nap.  I toasted an English muffin and smeared it with peanut butter and jelly for dinner.  Then I sewed.  

But here I am , with about 10 minutes to spare on November 3, and I am still thankful.

I am thankful for the freedom to vote.  

I am thankful for my father who was SO patriotic, who served in the US Navy during World War II, and who instilled in me that the United State was the greatest country, that our freedoms were precious, and that voting in each and every election was a right and a privilege, one that I should never take for granted and one that I should always respect and use.

I am thankful for my country.

I am thankful that we all have the opportunity to vote and that all of our votes are equal.

I am thankful that whoever wins the Presidential election tonight will have four years to do his best for our country, but our Supreme Leader is Jesus Christ.   With the help of our Supreme Leader, our President will hopefully make the best decisions to lead our country.

With all of the turmoil, the differences of opinions, the hatred spewed from each party to the other, I am scared.  I am worried.  I am fearful of what this country will look like next week, in a few months, and by the end of the next four years.  I am fearful of what the country will be like for Landon, Tessa, Cooper, Owen, and Lynnlee.

But I am thankful that I still have the right to vote, and I will continue to exercise that right.

May God Bless America.
