Voting day. No matter your opinion, you are blessed to live in a country that allows your voice to be heard. Don't take this lightly. Most people around the world are not afforded this privilege that we consider one of our basic rights.
Women especially need to get out there...even in countries that allow for a public vote, many times women are still not allowed to cast their vote. You are fortunate to be seen as an equal in society, given the same rights as any man. Don't take that for granted.
Also, no matter the outcome tonight, please refrain from bashing the man elected. You may not agree with his politics, beliefs or choices, but God calls us to pray for our leaders. The office of President of the United States of America is one that commands respect whether you voted for the man occupying the seat or not. If we can't show respect to our own leaders, why would we expect anyone else around the world to?
Come on people, get out there, act like grown-ups and exercise your right as an American. Do your part, let your voice be heard...men and women have died so you could do this. Don't let them down.
1 Timothy 2: I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all peopleto be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransomfor all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles. 8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
