Our country has gone through some trying times in its 244 year history, facing wars, economic recessions, inflation, product shortages, terrorism, high crime rates, racial unrest, political corruption, scams, segregation, and so many other threats to our health and welfare, our freedom to enjoy what our Constitution guaranteed to us, our basic way of life.
But the current situation(s) we face are without precedent. Our whole schedule has been thrown into mass confusion, with too many people in charge of deciding what is "right" or "best" for us, and each one of them showing little compassion or care for those who disagree with them. It's more than politics, or religion or any one factor. It is every aspect of our life which has been impacted. To see people hiding behind masks, trying to stay 6 feet from each other, not being able to pay cash for purchases at WalMart (where the self check-out machines are two feet apart), to see the priorities so skewed for who gets to be the first to get a vaccine which may turn out to be worse than the disease itself. It's just not the same world anymore, and it's sad how much has changed in such a short time.
People are back to hoarding toilet paper and our health care workers are being stretched to the breaking point again as the virus is more rampant than ever because we all still want to do our own thing, and everyone else be "damned". I'm afraid we may have gone too far in trying the patience of The One Who has the solution in His control. It's just not the same........and that makes me sad. I pray that we each look in the mirror at ourself........put our own priorities in order......and humbly ask God to give us His peace, to give "it" all to Him and trust Him for THE solution. LET GO.....AND LET GOD.
