We retrieved our computer two days ago after it was in repair for a week. We (the elderly) learned yesterday that we should not venture from home (after I had been to the grocery store for daily essentials).
With the widespread fear, we sense the need to share our reasons for not being anxious. How can we help others remain hopeful and at peace during these times.
We cannot be out and about but having the means of posting on this blog, we can offer what the Lord has given us. Sustaining us for over eighty years, Jerry and I are privileged ~ blessed ~ to know the presence and power of our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ and His Spirit every day.
Considering the fear many seem to have, we see three possibilities for us as God’s people.
- We may never get the coronavirus.
- We may have the virus and survive it.
- We may die from it and be ushered into the presence of our Lord forever.
Non-believers do not have this hope of God’s grace but this is a good time for us to share the gospel.
For those who might benefit from reading something of our experience of God’s grace and share this with others, we have a free Ebook on Amazon, plus other books available. First Things that Last Forever speaks of Jesus’ teachings of things that are eternal.
Gracious Father, thank you that you never leave us nor forsake us, caring for us and providing for all our needs. Give us spiritual wisdom and understanding for such a time as this. Enable us to reach out to others with the good news of life through Jesus Christ, your Son, in whose name I pray~ for your glory, our peace, and joy. Amen.
Fran
God's Grace ~ God's Glory! 
Amen!

Exactly. The #4 possibility is we may be able to share the gospel with someone now (not previously) open to this good news

God bless you, Frances! I was unable to get to your blog (and a bunch of others) for a while, and though I loved what you posted, I couldn’t even get a “like” through, much less my comments. Just wanted you to know that you’ve had more readers and “likers” than you know! And if you read my past couple of posts, you know that we are on the same page. 😉 This is not a time to wring our hands, get reckless in our “faith,” or get political. As believers, our question should be “How can we be a light in the darkness for such a time as this?”
