It is with a heavy heart I write this.
This week we THE PEOPLE took part in our democratic system and elected the 45th President of the United States of America. It was a battle of picking the lesser of two evils as many would say. On the left we had the first female ever running to lead the White House. And on the right we had one of hollywoods biggest and most richest names. This years election was one Americans have never truly experienced. The votes were cast and the people spoke and elected Donald Trump the next president of the United States of America.
It's in the days preceding this election though I stand with a heavy heart as I watch fellow Americans trash the greatest country. A country filled with promise and hope. A country that allows for the American dream of coming from nothing and making something of yourself. A country where our grandparents worked tireless hours so that on days like today we could be proud of the country we live in.
Instead we see countless Americans protesting not only the next president but this great nation. Many stand and watch as the American flag is burning. Others use their words to talk so disgracefully about a country that has given so much to them. The election is over, the choice has been made. As Americans it's time to grow up and put our grown up hats on and start acting like the adults we are. This blame can not be put on one party or the other. This is the fault of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. I read the other day from kid president,

"Grown ups.
Your presence is vital today in the lives of children.
Show them what love looks like."
There are no words written that could be any more true. The future of our country is watching as individuals who didn't get their way denounce their country. Those young women who we want to know have value and worth are watching as other women act with out tact and class, where there does a women deserve respect for behaving in a crude manner? Respect is given when respect is earned. No candidate, no celebrity, nor activist is needed for a women to know her self worth. That's something taught in the home from a very young age.
A child is a product of their own environment. Raise them up in a home where they are taught to love others, encourage, be honest. Teach any child that, boy or girl and they will know their self worth. Teach a child that when things don't go the way that they want behave in a manner so disruptive and you get what's happening in America today. I was raised in a republican home. My parents never impressed their beliefs upon me. I was raised in an environment where I was loved, taught respect, and given the confidence to know that not because of my gender but because of my heart and more importantly my God I could be anything I wanted to be. I could do anything I wanted to do. Go anywhere I wanted to go. Parents it's time to stop taking to social media to berate the school system, the government, and your next door neighbor. Like I have been saying you live in a country where you have the freedom to raise your child however you choose. There is no reason to verbally degrade everyone who does not aline with your belief system. As a Christian I have been taught to love God love people. I'm not always going to agree with everything happening but I know one thing I'm going to strive each and everyday to love others much like Jesus loved.
I said it earlier this week and I will say it again the best thing we can do for our country right now is pray. Pray for peace for those that are filled with such hate to act in the ways that so many Americans are acting in. Pray for guidance for our next president as he enters into a very difficult time. Pray for our country that we will find the will to come together and unify as "One nation under God." I pray Americans start hitting their knees and thanking their God for all his many blessings.
America is not and will not be defeated. President Obama said it best the sun will rise again no matter the outcome of the election. In the days following the sun has risen every time. When do we wake up and realize how lucky we are to live in a country where freedom is given so free. When do we realize no mater who our leader is we the people have the opportunity to choose that leader and make our voices be heard. We abuse that privilege though when behave in such a way that our country is this week.
Today we celebrate the men and women who have sacrificed time with their family and friends to defend our country and freedom. Today I pray our social media is flooded with love for all the men and women who make that sacrifice. I pray we stop seeing the political condemnation happening in our country and start reaching a point of unity.
With a lot of love
