My children really got into the Presidential Election this time. All of my children understood who we were going to be voting for and they also voted for the same candidate at school.
I have a tried really hard, even though he was not my first choice, to have my children see me respect Obama. As far as I can remember, I have not said one negative thing about him in front of the kids. I am troubled by the comments that they come home saying about him. I know that these are things that other kids hear their parents say.
I want my kids to know that he is still the President of our great country and even though we may not agree with him, we still have to respect and pray for him.
Here are some bible verses that I got from my friend Donna.
1 Timothy 2:1-2
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Romans 13:1
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Daniel 2:19-21
19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
