(Non-Partisan) Election Thoughts

These are strange days.

I normally don't share my thoughts about current events, because, in my opinion, most people don't actually care what other people think about such things.

However, this election season, which my children are aware of, we have had the opportunity to cover some important life lessons.

First, a picture of cranky, two-year old Lorelei with the White House in the background:

Lesson 1: We are not electing God. In fact, "For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob." (Malachi 3:6 NKJV) Also, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8) 

The President of the United States of America can't change that. Isn't that a relief?

Lesson 2: You will probably never agree with any one person about everything. This includes your friends, your spouse, as well as the people you vote for in elections. Choose the "issues" that are the most important to you, and vote for the person who says they will protect those issues.

Lesson 3: Sometimes you don't get your way. Whether it's the movie you voted for on family movie night or the presidential candidate you voted for, sometimes your vote "wins," and other times it doesn't. Don't worry; it's likely not your last time to vote.

Happy Tuesday, friends!
