As a nurse I find myself praying for others. I pray our healthcare system can handle what is coming, . I pray I don’t carry it to others. I pray the patients that can’t have visitors aren’t lonely and they have peace in God. I pray that those who get it can fight it. I also pray that our economy can handle this so I can retire someday! Be well my friend.

That is a very good question. I think I like your answer best….I can’t do this without you Lord. And then, I remember under HIS wings is MY refuge. THEN, the next question, “How do I love my neighbor today Lord?” There too He shows me, starting with those I live with…family. Think of the new teachers/moms who just got a new job, YIKES! Extra wisdom needed 🙂
Yes a side note … My husband and I will never forget sitting with your husband after your “return” from Morocco. Asking him to tell us about it and coaxing him a bit, and then sitting there spell bound as he described the language barrier and how quickly dependency on the Lord was all he had. We were blessed and now feel a tiny tiny bit of the shakiness of our human frailty that has always been there but forgotten.

I think many many people are starting to experience the disorienting effects of a lack of control due to C-19. In some ways, this “curse” is a blessing. May the lessons we NEED to learn or practices we NEED to reengage, be realized.
May God protect you!

We live on the east coast and have 2 children in the suburbs, 6 grandchildren and one single daughter living in Manhattan. She wants to give blood, take groceries to older neighbors and stay. My heart is with her, my fears are with her, and I daily hold on to the truth that the One who holds us all is with her. Jesus.

Limiting news…
Reminding myself to walk in Gods shadow…
I love your prayer Cindy… before your feet hit the floor, everyday reminder of who we belong to.
Two Corinthians 4:7-9:
but we have this treasure in jars of Clay to show it this far surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; Perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Thank you for your raw honesty and candor. Thank you for your blog because every time that I read it, the Lord opens my eyes to greater growth and trust in Him. Do you remember Hind, our Moroccan neighbor up the street? She would always end our PT sessions with “Thank you for you.” That’s what I’’m saying to you, my dear! THANK YOU FOR YOU!!❤️
PS-May I link this to my blog?

I’m in a movie like Contagion. I am uncertain about our
future. The economy scares me as much as the virus. But
one thing, the main thing, that gives me comfort is the
fact that God is sovereign. I believe we are going through
this for a reason.

It is even good to go through times like these. Under pressure things come out that He gently shows us are not His Character or His Ways.
Verses out of the Psalms, Isaiah, hymns, songs, sermons, Moody Radio, Joy 99, my church, friends, all are a sources of strength and comfort during this time.
Most of all reminding myself that God is a good God, He is wise, and my life is not my own. Asking what I can do to show God’s character, His amazing love and selflessness.
We have prayed for revival. What a great time for Christians to rise up and love our neighbors.

Makes sense , realizing where you are , what’s going on with you (not directing to you , speaking to everyone) , where you are at the moment,
I really haven’t been covering myself, I think because I have been so busy trying to keep up with the News , buying groceries, still working / closed to the public , only taking calls, emails – taking care of Residents been crazy busy .
But now I must cover myself , cover myself with my Faith in God everyday when I lift myself out of bed .
Thank you sweet friend 🤗💕
