Election Day is a great day to teach your children about the election process.
Start the day together by praying for our nation.
Take your children with you to vote. Yes, I know it will be hard to drag them along to the polls, but they will see you cast your vote and turn in your ballot. There is no greater lesson than example.
On the way there and on the way home, you can talk about why it’s important to vote.
You see, in American, every citizen has a leadership role. Each vote matters. If we don’t cast our vote, we shirk our responsibility.

During the day, get online and watch some of the campaign speeches and debates with your children. Discuss what was said and how it was said.
Don’t just look at the presidential candidates. Your state will have state and national congress seats open. Some of you may have senate elections too. In our state of Florida, we have a senate election. Our current senator, Rubio is running to hold on to his seat in Washington, D.C.
You can also look at old elections: who won and who lost.

When a nation fears the Lord, He blesses them with good leaders. Let’s pray that God will that today in every political race across the country.
God bless you and God bless America.
