Vote

Today is the big day to vote. I am on the way out in about an hour or so. I am a fiscal liberal (that just means that I am broke all the time) with extreme conservative values, so my choice is clear. But I have to keep asking, and praying, how to talk to my kids about the issues. They know that times are tough. They can see us struggle to make ends meet and sometimes they see us break down over the fiscal issues that we have. And they watch TV and study politics. They hear the promises of both parties and they are very smart children for their young age (10 and 8. The 3 year old is still oblivious). I finally sat down with them and we just talked. I told them that even though I am broke as a joke and the liberals will more than likely help my financial situation that I could not, with a clear heart, vote for the liberal candidate. They did not understand. So I broke it down. As a Christian we have to look out for what God wants first then worry about our own needs and wants. God will look out for us if we look to him first. Again they did not get it and so I told them this. If you know that something is wrong, even if you could have something great and get away with it without anyone knowing would you. They of course both said no. I was relieved to hear that my teachings are getting through. So I continued. Always remember that God wants us to do and be good, so for me voting for values over value I know that I will be doing what God wants me to do. The liberal values will always be, in my opinion, bad in the eyes of the Lord. Win or lose liberal or conservative I will always keep the president and the country in my prayers. So we remain broke and Happy….
