I am sure that most of you are like I am, trying to make sense of what is going on with this new reality in dealing with this corona virus. It presents a whole new way of life for us. I was thinking back to 2011 when the terrorists struck the Twin Towers , etc. We walked around in stunned disbelief trying to process what our minds just couldn’t accept. That event made us realize that we were not living in a perfect world and that there were enemies wishing us dead. This time, we are dealing with an unseen enemy again but it has no borders or it doesn’t care what faith we believe in.
I think we are being tested again and I pray that we will manage to survive as a people who come shining through as we did in 2011. I see many people reaching out to help others and that is a good beginning, but with the easy transfer of the disease it runs a risk for all who are willing to reach out to others. Americans have always been a people who have rushed to help those in need, but when you are dealing with a highly infectious disease, the rules change drastically. If the disease does not wear itself out sooner than later, I fear as the number of dead rises, so will crime and the base type individuals will try to profit from our vulnerabilities.
I pray that we will come through this time of testing as we have always done so in the past, but so much has changed in the hearts of people that we cannot be sure. So much of our society today has the “I want it and I will get it whatever it takes” attitude and I just pray that it does not prevail.
My prayers go out to all and sundry who frequent this beloved Board and may you stay safe and well. May our precious, and innocent little babies of whatever kind, stay well and happy also.
I am only one person in this world of billions, but with all my heart I pray that we overcome this new challenge and that all of you dear, dear people will stay well and strong.
Juanita and the Flock of Three
