It is November, and my thoughts have turned to the many blessings for which I am grateful. At the top of the list are my incredible family and a loving Heavenly Father. But, today, I am also reminded of the amazing country in which I live and of the freedoms that I so often take for granted. I reflected on these freedoms as I took the opportunity to vote this morning, and I smiled at those around me knowing quite well that many would be voting differently than me. This has been a very polarized and hateful election. But, in the end, we are all children of God. I hope very much that our actions towards each other will be motivated more by love than by politics. I hope we can see how much we have been blessed with. Lets not compare our blessings, but rather share them. Even as we differ in political opinions, I hope we can always be united in love for country and each other. Ultimately, its the character of each individual American that makes our country great, regardless of upcoming election results.
That is my political rant for this election season. I hope to soon move on to the business of posting some wonderful pictures and updates about our family :)
