Election Day

It is the eve of election day. I'm not going to tell you who you should vote for, or who I'm voting for. You most likely have made up your mind one way on another, and so my opinion would justify why your voting for your preferred candidate either way. Instead, I want you to think back to when you were little and to how things used to be. What were your favorite games to play on the playground, how much did an ice cream cone cost, or who was your best friend. Now think to today. What do you do for entertainment, how much does it cost to feed your family, and who are your friends. Fast forward another four years to the next presidential election. What will our economy be like? How much will it cost to feed your family a simple, home-cooked meal? Will you still have your job and will you be able to enjoy those little extras? I urge you to vote, because it is your civic responsibility.  Every responsibility we have in our lives has repercussions both positive and negative. Don't vote for views. Instead vote for the candidate who will represent and will help create the America you want your children and grandchildren to live in. One that is free and where it's leaders represent truthfully what America is and has been: a safe haven for those who need rest. 

As a post script, don't forget who is the true giver of rest: God. 
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
