Prayer

Tomorrow is ELECTION day! Already it is here and we can be done with all the negative ads that are endless it seems! Well today we started our day with prayer, for the election and our nation at this time of transition. I told the kids if each one would pray one thing, simple once sentence prayer. First we discussed all the things that this election can decide and each one was to pray for whatever they felt led to. So I took the opening, Luke went went next, praying for our next president that God would lead this man and that the right man would make it into office. Caleb was next, "AMEN" he says....although it was humorous and we kind of chuckled, it was okay. After all AMEN, does mean "so be it". Well it was then Austin's turn and he couldn't think of what he wanted to pray, so Caleb said "I will go again"....this time he prayed for school. So we prayed for all the schools and what this election may hold in their futures. Then Austin ended the prayer with praying for our congress and senate seats that would be decided. All in all a very productive prayer.
"Thank you Lord for letting me teach my children the important things in life! Please allow these precious freedoms to continue and for this great nation to stay strong in its morals and values and not let what our forefathers set forth as law be destroyed. Give wisdom to those undecided in their vote speak to their hearts and let your will be done. Give us the wisdom to be able to deal with the outcome of this vote and let our trust in you get us through."
AMEN (as Caleb would say! )

Until next time.....
