I know exactly how you feel. I was sad and disappointed by the results also. I fear my children that I don't even have yet! But...we cannot let fear get in the way of anything! We must press-forward holding onto the iron-rod trust our Father in Heaven, prepare, and endure what lies ahead...not just endure it but endure it well. He has a plan for everything. I feel like this just means that the 2nd coming is just that much closer. Josh and I have always talked about having our home be a safe haven from the rest of the world, gathering food storages and stand in holy places. We can get through ANYTHING with our help from the Lord!! You are in my thoughts and prayers :)Diary of a Brown Eyed Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431152027286682830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-38506545636593882702012-11-08T11:19:45.534-07:002012-11-08T11:19:45.534-07:00I'm very concerned with the moral direction of...I'm very concerned with the moral direction of our country, to decide who is vital enough to receive health care is just the tip of an iceberg ... it makes me sad. It makes a lot of people sad. And yet, none of the sad people seem to be in charge. :( I say just take it one day at a time, because we can find joy in the journey on a daily basis. A lot of the little wonderful things like warm clean running water and shampoo and clean sheets, when we remember them, can bring us a lot of relief and a little bit of joy. The kindness we show one another is something that no one can take away from us in any condition. And I'm so thankful to know that death is not the end, when that time comes, and that after death we will not be governed by misguided men.Heatherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355263068372248035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-60784826142421180832012-11-08T09:07:42.438-07:002012-11-08T09:07:42.438-07:00I hope you share your talk with us.

I have been in the process of writing a couple of posts for Real Intent about counting blessings and Eucharisteo before the election. When the results came in I had to remind myself of the hymn "When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, when you are discouraged thinking all is lost, count your many blessings; name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." Sounds like we had a similar reaction! :)Montserrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056974831892116493noreply@blogger.com
