Inauguration Day is Tomorrow . . .

And I know how very divided our country is right now. And I understand, too. However, here’s the thing . . . It’s a done deal. It’s time to think about some things.

• We live in one of the most free places in the entire world when it comes to politics and voting.

• I don’t recall ever in my adult life hearing that 100% of eligible voters participated in their right (and privilege!) to vote and take part in choosing our leaders.

• Every single election, whether local, state or national, is important, and every single time I hear people complaining, who as it turned out, didn’t even exercise their right to vote! Don’t vote? Don’t complain!

I want you to know, I was greatly disappointed when President Obama won. Both times. Not because of his color, I have two African/American boys. No, it was because my views and beliefs were totally opposed to his. But do you know what we did anyway? My children and I took the day off and we watched both inaugurations. And we watched all of the coverage. Why? Because it was a historical event. EVERY inauguration is a historical event, and I envy those who live where they can actually see it in person.

Our new President-elect was not my first choice, but he is the one who most closely follows the beliefs I hold, and I think it’s important now to support and pray for him, as we should for all of our leaders. We should pray that he WILL be a good president, regardless of our misgivings, whatever they may be.

I saw something on Facebook recently that summed it up for me:

To hope that the president fails is like hoping the pilot of your plane fails while you and a lot of other people are on the plane.” It’s stupid. I’m sorry, but it is.

Once again, my children and I will watch the inauguration tomorrow. We will also be using a free one day unit study from a company called Homechool Legacy, a company I have previously reviewed products for as a member of the Homeschool Review Crew. This study is called Inauguration Mini Study, and you can download it today here, free. I promise you, you will be happy you did.

As always, I’d love to have you join me on all of my “Journeys Through Life!” Just go to the subscription box at the top of the blog, enter your email, and you’ll always know when there is something new.

We also have a Facebook page, and would just love to have you visit and give us a “like!”
