Day Six of Thanksgiving: Freedom

I am not someone who is highly political at all, but it is hard not to be involved in politics when it is the first presidential election that you are able to vote in. For me, it is not so much about the "politics" of everything going on right now, but rather the desire for freedom that we have in this country. I think that a lot of people take advantage of the freedom that we have. I am absolutely thankful for everything that I am able to do because I was born in America, and not elsewhere. Voting is truly a privilege for us, and that isn't an option for most people in the world

I by no means want to endorse anyone in particular, and I'm not going to say to go vote for a specific candidate! I also don't think that everyone has to or should vote. You definitely shouldn't make an uninformed vote if you haven't done you research! As a Christian, I honestly believe that voting should take a lot of careful consideration and prayer before choosing a president. And that is exactly what I did. So, I have officially done my "American duty" and voted today.. for the very first time! And the next time that you have the opportunity to vote or influence public policy, take advantage of that! It is an amazing privilege that we have so much of a say in our government, and I am very thankful for that!
