Freedom

Last Thursday, I received a startling revelation about myself while visiting the Blessed Sacrament; a revelation that I hope is the start to a new life.

No more self-pity or morose thoughts; instead, I will focus on the blessings God has given me and ignore the lies of Satan.

To be sure, there have been hard and lonely times, but rather than focus on the source of sadness, I will put my focus on the Source of where my blessings flow.

Today is Election Day and we will get a new President that no one wants. People will undoubtedly complain but today I will stay as far away as I can from those people and instead say thank you to God. Thank You, for life. Thank You for freedom. Thank You, for America. Thank You, for getting us this far.

Now, help us get the rest of the way. Give us the courage we're going to need for the days ahead. Give us fortitude and strength. Give us Hope. Increase our faith not in our country, but in You.

Then we will gain our peace back.
