I never thought that I would see this happen! I am so very proud to be an American! I always have been very Patriotic, but today...especially so!!!
Today, our Country has a new African American President! It is amazing and wonderful & Historic!! I delayed school a bit today so that Dakota & I could watch the Inauguration together. Trying to explain to a 6 year old how incredible this moment is, was a task though! :) When I told him that there has never before been a Black or Brown President, he looked at me with this puzzled look....and said "Why not?". Exactly! I am so happy that my son will never know an America so divided by race.
I am a Republican. I did not vote for this President. I don't agree with everything that he stands for, however, I did not necessarily agree with everything that President Bush did either. I will support & pray for President Obama. I will do so because I believe that is what God wants us to do for our Leaders. They need our respect, our support, & our prayers.
I may not have voted for him, but he is now My President. May God Bless Him, protect him, & give him wisdom.
Stand Tall America! Even if you didn't vote for this President. Stand Tall! The lines of racism have been lifted! Be Proud America! This day should be celebrated!
While the inauguration was happening, my son said "Mommy, you know what I am going to be when I grow up? President!!"
That's right son....dream BIG! Today has proven once and for all.....ANYONE CAN BE!!
YES, YES, YES!!!!! Well done my friend! Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery well said!
ReplyDeleteYes, Dawn While agree that this is a moment in time to be remembered, I, too, did not vote for him. I will pray and i will pray for our country too. I have not been happy with what he has done so far but like you said I didn't like everything Former President Bush did either. I truly hope that this is an end to racial discrimination but if I keep having to choose which race my child is, I don't think it will be. God Bless America!!!
