Election Day with a grandson~

Election Day with a grandson

• 2 hrs ago
 

I usually write in to vent about current events but today I am writing just to express my amazement about grandchildren. 
While waiting in line to vote, my 8-year-old grandson, Hunter, simply asked what we were doing. I explained that we were voting for the next president. I told him Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were the people we were choosing from.
Another person in line asked Hunter who he would vote for. He said Donald Trump! I was shocked at his frm response. Not to let the moment pass, the same person smiled and asked why? Hunter said without hesitation, Hillary has broken the law and is a criminal.
Wow! I was speechless and many people in line grinned and nodded. Others simply turned away and did not ask any more questions.
It was refreshing to have an innocent 8-year-old be able to express a well-thought-out opinion. Yes, I am proud of not only Hunter but my other 12 grandchildren as well. Had I know being a grandparent would be so wonderful, I would have hurried to get here sooner - ha!
I hope the USA can work together for positive change, and should all the people who said they were leaving in the event that Donald Trump became president need help packing, let's get a call-in number to help them pack.
The righteous people in this country have never run from a fight but stood their ground to save this country. The bleeding heart cowards have benefitted from the blood, sweat and tears of the true heroes and hard-working taxpayers that are proud to be Americans for the beliefs that America was founded on.
Stand firm and demand all laws be enforced equally for the strength of this country. God Bless America and congratulations to our next president, Donald Trump.

The Ancient One

by Bearwalker

Ancient One sat in the shade of his tree in front of his cave. Red People came to him and he said to Red People, "Tell me your vision."

And Red People answered, "The elders have told us to pray in this manner, and that manner, and it is important that only we pray as we have been taught for this has been handed down to us by the elders."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then Black People came to him and he said to Black People, "Tell me your vision."

And Black People answered, "Our mothers have said to go to this building and that building and pray in this manner and that manner. And our fathers have said to bow in this manner and that manner when we pray. And it is important that we do only this when we pray."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then Yellow People came to him and he said to Yellow People, "Tell me your vision."

And Yellow People answered, "Our teachers have told us to sit in this manner and that manner and to say this thing and that thing when we pray. And it is important that we do only this when we pray."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then White People came to him and he said to White People, "Tell me your vision."

And White People answered, "Our Book has told us to pray in this way and that way and to do this thing and that thing, and it is very important that we do this when we pray."

"Hmmmm," said the Ancient One.

Then Ancient One spoke to the Earth and said, "Have you given the people a vision?" And the Earth said, "Yes, a special gift for each one, but the people were so busy speaking and arguing about which way is right they could not see the gift I gave each one of them." And the Ancient One asked same question of Water and Fire and Air and got the same answer. Then Ancient One asked Animal, and Bird, and Insect, and Tree, and Flower, and Sky, and Moon, and Sun, and Stars, and all of the other Spirits and each told him the same.

Ancient One thought this was very sad. He called Red People, Black People, Yellow People, and White People to him and said to them. "The ways taught to you by your Elders, and your Mothers and Fathers, and Teachers, and Books are sacred. It is good that you respect those ways, for they are the ways of your ancestors. But the ancestors no longer walk on the Face of the Earth Mother. You have forgotten your own Vision. Your Vision is right for you but no one else. Now each of you must pray for your own Visions, and be still enough to see them, so you can follow the way of the heart. It is a hard way. It is a good way.
