"Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time."
Abraham LincolnSource: August 26, 1863 - Letter to James Conkling
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."
Abraham LincolnSource: March 4, 1865 - Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation, should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds.

Abraham Lincoln
Abe is One of My Favorite Presidents and a man of God as well!
I am so very proud to be an American. As I was voting yesterday...I truly felt lucky, honored & happy to live in this great Nation. To be able to vote, to choose who we want for President and to Respect others with different beliefs, feelings and perspective within our own Country. What a great Democracy we live in. I am not scared for what tomorrow brings...I am excited and will do all that I can as a Citizen of this Country too. We do need to unite as one. Not Democrat nor Republican...but as one Nation together. It does take a village to raise a child let alone all villages to help a Nation.
Above all we must Trust in our Great Redeemer. Pray unto him always, that he will guide and direct us and comfort us when needed. We are NEVER alone and we must all see each other as Christ sees us. We are all children of God. We are a Great Nation Under God. He is the True Leader of this Country and he will help our New President Guide and lead us...if you have Faith and if you pray for him to be a Great President! After all Faith without works is dead!

Here, Here...I so hope that our nation can work on being united...sometimes the division is so sad that so much animosity exists among us (never a good thing according to history books). Thanks for using Lincoln...he was truly a great man.
AMEN! We must be thinking alike!
We are one nation and need to pray as one nation.
