A Historic Event

We watched the inauguration as a family this morning. All of us. A day that will go down in history as a first. Our first African American president. I am not going to dwell on my political views in this post. I will however say this, I hope that our new president can lead our country with honor and integrity. That when he is making the tough decisions that will have to be made over the next four years, he will do so with all of us in mind. The rich the poor, the sick and needy. My hope is that we as a country can come together. Instead of finding differences to pull us apart. I also hope that we can all do our part in helping to make this country what it should be. Because it can not and should not be done by one man alone. Whatever happens, I will be praying for the new leadership of our great United States. That they will lead with hearts and minds focused on the greater good. We are so truly blessed to live in this great land of opportunity. Let us remember this and keep it in our hearts. God Bless America!
