Please see the guidelines for this board. This kind of post contains content that is pushing at the envelope, and came close to being deleted.
I understand that you are copying and pasting, in whole or in part, an article you found inspiring.
May I draw your attention to the fact that your post contained a small amount of content which could be considered to be political, and the manner in which it was posted may suggest you were intentionally slipping in a political message on a board for spiritual journeys.
While there is absolutely nothing wrong with praying for people, anyone, and we are not trying to tell you who to support in prayer; and while there is absolutely nothing wrong with being thankful for your president, any president, and we are not trying to tell you who you may or may not be thankful for; and you are fully entitled to your political views; I'd like to remind you that since such posts can be understood to be controversial and political, and in light of the recent events on our boards and our decision to keep politics off our boards, we kindly ask you to use some better judgement when posting and to try your best to keep politics off your posts.
Many thanks, and happy thanksgiving to you.
