Get it together people!!

I will apoligize in advance. I always try to keep everything I write light and humorous, with the intention to inspire. But today I am deeply saddened by my fellow Americans and I need to say something.
What in the H-E-double hockeysticks is happening to us America? I got on Facebook this morning and was utterly sickened by the posts and conversations that were happening. Obama fans are gloating and cussing out the "idiots" that voted for Romney. Romney fans are damning Obama voters to Hell. It's insane! Is this really who we have become? Two sides of one country that cannot respect each other.
Let me put myself out there for a minute. I voted for Romney. I am a republican. I am pro-life. I also, however, (and you may want to sit down for this) support gay marriage. I am a mother who is very concerned about the future of my children, who will absolutely be paying their own way through college, unless we win a lottery. I am a wife who is scared that my husband's salary will not be able to cover our health care next year. BUT above all of these things, I am a child of God! And I believe He loves Obama and Romney supporters all the same. And I believe we should follow suit here.
What is America if we are not free to feel and say who we are and what we believe without being thrown to the wolves for daring to be different than our neighbor. I voted differently than many of my friends and family, but I love them just the same. I respect that they feel differently than me when it comes to politics and issues, and I would never condemn their souls! Ridiculous!
I didn't support Obama, but he won. If you voted for him, then why are you still mad that others didn't? If you didn't vote for him, than don't be a sore loser. Don't tell the opposing team that the demise of this country is their fault. Get off of your high horse and get on your knees!
Pray for our country people. Pray for Obama. Pray for your FRIENDS. Don't let the issues of politics make them enemies. Love each other. Respect each other. Because however this world ends, it will be a lot harder if your alone.
The best status update I have seen today came by way of my brother.

Complaining is like vomiting. It makes you feel better, and it makes everyone around you sick.
Excessive celebration and gloating is like the smell of your own farts. What smells as sweet as honey to you is just a stinky fart to others. 

Think about it friends! Here's to the next four years. May Obama turn to God and follow Him in leading this country into it's next chapter. May you all be blessed, no matter who you voted for. And may our relationships be healed and the division in this country be replaced with one common desire to see lives improve. You're the God of this city. You're the Lord of this nation. And greater things have yet to be done! AMEN!
