The Jones Girls

We wanted to share some of our thoughts for what we’ve seen today.  Today was a very historic moment for our country.   Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States and the nation’s first African-American president.  

We had begun losing faith in our country. The thought of our generation having more than yours as well as our little ones has been a very saddening thought that has wore on us the past few years.

Today seeing those millions of Americans come together as Americans As citizens of our wonderful land has touched us deeply.  In our entire life we have never seen that many Americans come together for the Sake of one Nation indivisible.  To see the people sitting on all the buildings,

and stretching out for miles just shows what power, what life America still has for you young

people. The next time you see all the masses of people in another country you’ll know we have our own, be proud, and for the right reason.

We did not vote for Obama but we fully accept him as our president as we should and as we pray he is successful with what he said.  The part that really touches us is this:

 “Let it be said by Our children’s children that when we were tested,

we refused to Let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did

we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God’s grace upon us,

we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely

To future generations”

We love our children so much and we pray for America’s beacon of hope to illuminate

all of your lives as well as your own decedents as it has done for us.

This is the text of his speech.   I will post Pres. Obama’s speech in a separate posting.
