November 6 ~ Day 6

Shifting gears a little today, enjoyed getting to write about all my favorite people that I live with, but today since it's Election Day (and I'm sitting here waiting to find out who our new President is...)    I am thankful to live in the U.S.A. I am thankful for freedom, thankful to worship where and when I want, thankful that today I could go to the polls and vote!

I consider it a privilege and an honor to vote and I've voted every time I have had the opportunity since I turned 18.

I've seen positive and negative ALL day about the election, I've prayed a lot about the outcome.  It literally scares me to death.  Perhaps the best thing I've read today was this:

Who will I vote for?! I will vote for the most pro-life candidate, because God hates the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:17). I will vote for the most pro-Israel country, because God blesses those who bl

ess Israel & curses those who don't (Genesis 12:3). I will vote for the most pro-debt reduction candidate, because the borrower is a servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). I will vote for the most pro-work candidate, because God says if a man goes not work, let him not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10). I will vote for the most pro-marriage candidate, because God is for marriage as defined in Genesis 2:24. I will vote for the candidate who most closely believes government's purpose is to reward the good & punish the evil (Romans 13). I will vote based as close as I can on God's word (2 Timothy 3:16), knowing that whoever gets elected, that God is the one who puts all men in authority (Daniel 2:21). As the late man of God, Dr D James Kennedy said, "Lord, give us the leader that we need--not the one that we deserve."

Thought this was very fitting for today.  God Bless our Nation!!!
