As moms, we make decisions every day that shape our families' futures- choosing the right schools, teaching values, and building a lasting legacy for our kids. But with election day around the corner, it's a powerful reminder that the choices I make matter far beyond my home. Our votes matter- they shape the world our children will grow up in.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed with everything going on- the issues, the debate, the news. But as women of faith, we know that faith without action is incomplete. Voting is one way we act on our values, putting our beliefs in motion for the good of our communities, our children, and future generations.
3 Ways to Put Faith into Action This Election
1. Pray with Purpose Before Voting
Before you vote, take time to pray intentionally over your decisions. Ask God to guide you in selecting leaders and policies that reflect His values of justice, love and kindness. Use this moment to teach your kiddos how faith plays a role in shaping the world we live in by discussing why voting matters.
2. Stay Informed Without Feeling Overwhelmed
It can be hard to keep up with all the political chatter, but don't let that stop you from being aware. Take time research the candidates and issues for sources you trust. Talk with other moms about what matters most to you-whether it's education, healthcare, or building a better future for your kiddos. Your voice in these conversations matter, just like your vote does.
3. Lead by Example: Teach Through Action
Our kids are always watching how we live out what we say. Take them with you to the polls or let them see how you prepare to vote by mailing in your ballot. Show them that being a mom means not just taking care of them today but building a future where they can thrive tomorrow.
