Today is the day. Today is the day that America will swear in the first African American President. Today brings hope for many, many people.
I do not think my kids get what today means. Not in the short term and by far not in the long term. My kids are living history in the making and I do not think they quite get what that means. Emmaline was about a year and a half when 9/11 happened. She has no idea what that was, but she was with me as I watched those towers fall. And it is documented in one of her baby books as well. She was living history in a way that I never did.
All three of my kids are here today. As the inauguration plays on the t.v., they wonder why mama is making them watch the news. (we never watch the news in this house)
Today marks a change not only for us, not only for America, but for people all over the world.
Today I am thankful for the change on the horizon. I am thankful for a sovereign God who knows all. I am thankful for the One above who has His hand in ALL things. I am thankful for His wisdom and strength. May God bless President Obama, First Lady Obama, and their two precious daughters. Guide them, love them, and protect them.
