Election Day

Do we all understand what a miracle it is to be able to vote? My son spent a year in Iraq to help preserve their right to vote. Through out history men and women have sacrificed all for what we have and so often take for granted. Our system is not perfect-none is, but I have a hope deep within me that it is better than most, and that most people do want what is best. It is that "what is best" that causes confusion. What I think is best is probably not what you think is best. We each come into this life with different opinions, different ways of thinking. It is how we learn to co-exist that defines who we are. Do we hold resentment, do we "get even", or ignore another way because it is not our way. I sincerely hope that as this election comes to an end, we can all band together behind who ever wins, whether it is the candidate I voted for or the one you voted for. We need to be united in our prayers that who ever is in the White House will honestly strive to do what is right-for all of us.
Oh, if only we had complete foresight and could see exactly which road to follow, but we don't. So we do the best we can, we weigh the choices as best we can, and take a leap of faith as we mark our ballots.
God bless us one and all, and God Bless America!
