Voting

I'm so thankful for our country and for the freedoms we enjoy.  We may or may not like what is going on in our government, nevertheless, we have opportunities that are afforded to very few in this world.  "We the people," get to decide who will lead us. We choose the direction our country will take.  We are the government.  I'm also thankful that more people are getting involved in the process.  It is our responsibility and our duty. 

That being said, I'm so thankful that God is NEVER up for reelection. He wasn't ringing His hands over this or any election.  I am first and foremost a citizen of His eternal kingdom.  It's so important that we remember, "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."  Romans 13:1  And one day soon His government will be established, and it will never end.  Now that's something to be thankful for!
