You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. ~~~Abraham Lincoln
My cousin's wife had this on her facebook page. I had to post it here. Such wise words!
I pray our nation survives the consequences of election day!

Thanks Luann! What inspired words. We need that today! Thanks!
What a great message to share!
I do feel we need to save $$ and keep up our food storage. Things are going to get pretty tough here soon.
Hey did I tell you I'm having another baby? I am already 12 weeks and due in May. This is a very unexpected thing, but I'm looking forward to having another.
I love hearing about your little ones. I miss you guys!
me too! I am worried! The first thing my husband said was "we're getting a gun while I still can"
We will survive. I don't think its going to be as bad as people think. We just need to relax, follow the prophet, and pray for our leaders, both church and civic.
I couldn't agree more. He was so wise. Rob loves him!
