Feminine Awareness: First Mom

One of the things I have been grappling with since Tuesday is spending time trying to think of ways to thank God for our president-elect. In this election the American people have demonstrated that racism is not as alive and well as some might think. This alone gives me cause for joy.

I am also deeply impressed with our president-elect's family life. I know his values are different in certain life issues, and that will be an area in which I cannot agree with our president-elect. Our future first lady has also made some comments which give me pause and demonstrate that there is a divide in thinking between she and I as well. But, politics and policies aside (if you detect them, be charitable and ignore them)... this is a delightful little article which demonstrates what Michelle Obama sees as her first and highest calling.

I believe the best and highest form of 'liberation' and 'equality' for women comes in embracing the values which are intrinsic to them (given by God): beauty, motherhood, femininity. This is a strong woman, one who knows who she is and what is important.

Thank you, Michelle, for loving your family more than politics.
