46th President Takes Office

-
Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th President of the United States and the first ever woman Vice President has been sworn in as well. Whether you are a fan of President Biden or not, history has been made with Kamala Harris being sworn in as the Vice President of the United States. Reflecting on what this truly means for all the young women in the world makes me realize that my grandchildren can reach any potential that they want. 

Vice President Kamala Harris can be seen as a role model for young women and especially, for young women of color that might not be aware that they can do amazing things in their lives. Young women can look to her for inspiration in the role that she currently is serving. With the role that she swore to today, she needs to make sure that she does great things and does it with grace and dignity so that young girls can see that the position deserves respect, honor, and grace. 

I pray for President Biden and Vice President Harris as they are sworn to uphold offices that many of us would not want and an office that has been looked down upon in many ways the past few years. President Biden is taking office during a time of civil unrest  and a pandemic, which many people are struggling with. The job itself is hard, but with these extra issues in place, he certainly is starting with an uphill battle. I pray that the other leaders in the world will give President Biden time to settle into office and welcome his opinion on world issues. 

I pray that President Biden and Vice President Harris can unite our country and truly make us the United States of America. Heal the lines that have been drawn in our world, heal the racial divide we are seeing daily, heal the damage that was done on January 6th at our capital and heal the divide we see for authority in our world as well. Many issues seem to have literally divided us beyond party lines and I hope that for everyone's sake, he can find a way to heal our country.

I respect those among us that do not care for President Biden and I respect those that feel that Trump was cheated out of this position, but I will always honor the office of the President and I will pray daily for the healing of our nation. I will pray daily for all that I consider my friends, no matter what their political views are.

    Voluminous evidence says Pres. Biden won fair and square. He states he is President of all the states, which is a return to our democratic heritage.

      We need to return to some of the very foundations that our country was built upon.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
