Presidential election

Friday’s Grand Connection Fun
by Mary May Larmoyeux

Regardless of your political party, isn't it wonderful that we live in a free country and can vote!

Do you remember going to the polls to vote with your parents? I do. We waited in line at an elementary school near our house. Somehow at a very young age I realized that voting was a privilege not to be taken lightly.

Today would be a great day to share voting memories with a grandchild by the stroke of the pen, a phone call, or e-mail. How has the voting process changed in your lifetime? (My parents sure didn't vote on computer screens!)

We could also talk with grandchildren about the cost of freedom—the men and women who gave (and are giving) their lives so that we can vote. We might ask our older grandchildren to tell us about their hopes and dreams and pray with them for the future of our nation.

Also, we could jot our grandchildren a note reminding them that regardless of the outcome of any election, God is always in control. As Psalm 103:19 tells us: The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all.”

Enjoy the weekend,

Mary

November 4—Election Day

Tuesday's Thought

Soon we will know who will be the next President of the United States.

I remember going with Mom and Dad to vote as a child. We waited in line at an elementary school near our house. Somehow I realized that voting was a privilege not to be taken lightly.

If you have older grandchildren, today’s a great time to talk with them about the cost of freedom—the men and women who gave their lives so that we can be a free country ... and vote.

It’s a great time to share memories of voting. Did you go to the polls with your parents? How has the voting process changed in your lifetime? We could share these memories with a stroke of the pen, a phone call, or e-mail.

And it’s a great time to write grandchildren a letter reminding them that regardless of the outcome of any election, God is sovereign.

As Psalm 103:19 tells us: The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all.”

He is able,
Mary
