I voted!

We went up to vote this morning. I guess I timed it right as I was hoping because we didn't have much of a wait. They had three tables set up where you get your ballot. The lines were divided by last name. There were a couple people ahead of us at our table but no long lines for me. Caleb sat under the voting booth and looked at his books while I filled in my ballot! He got an "I Voted" sticker too and slipped my ballot into the machine.

Go vote if you haven't yet! It is a freedom we have and should be thankful for this privilege we have in our country.

Also if you have children and want to participate, my friend Sarah made up a little election for kids that makes sense on their level.

I voted using my mail in ballot last week. I love voting that way just in case there are long lines. I'm thankful for the freedom we have in the US to vote and I never want to take it for granted. Once we've done our part, we need to wait for the outcome. No matter what happens, God is in control.

I voted too! But in my small town, even if everyone showed up at once, there wouldn't be a line, so no excuses! ;)

Have a blessed day!

I voted this morning around 10 o'clock and was surprised that there was no wait at all. Just walked up to the table, showed them my ID and got my ballot. I guess we went at the right time. We need to keep praying for our country. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people whichever way the election goes.

Bethany,

I'm glad you didn't have a long wait and glad you voted. What a privilege we have in this country.

Thank you for stopping by and checking on me. I've had a tough migraine for a couple of days.

Blessings to you!
