In all honesty, the escalation of the concern about the coronavirus has taken us by surprise. After seeing God take our family through these last couple of years, with all the stress of work, the stroke, and the raising of two preschoolers, it was hard to take the coronavirus as an imminent and personal threat.
Still, it must be said that some of us reading this blog may be in the high risk category. It is said by experts (of which I am not) that 1-2% of the people who catch the virus will become seriously ill. If you are over 60 and have pre-existing health conditions, please stay at home and be safe and do not hesitate to allow me and my family to bless you as you have blessed us. We want to do everything we can to run errands, or go shopping, or do what we are able to do to help you stay safe at this time. Even if you need help with an older loved one and we can do something for you, please let us know. You have blessed us and we want to be a blessing to you as well.
If you are anxious at all, please don’t be. Our God is more than able to care for our every need and to provide for our welfare if we put our trust in Him. Jesus said, “…in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33
