Lincoln

Tonight I am so thankful for men like President Lincoln. There are so many amazing stories of how our country came to be what it is today, and I am thankful for those who were willing to listen to our Father in Heaven and fight for freedom for all men. I ache for those hundreds of thousands who died in our Civil War, and even more in other times, all to protect the freedoms we hold dear.

How blessed I am to be alive in such a time as this. And now I am going upstairs to hold my beautiful baby girl while she sleeps. What a joy it is to be her mother.
