The quarantine continues ...........

2020 ! I thought this year would be the year of clear vision ....as in 20/20 vision. I realize that we still have  four months until we hit 2021 , but wow!

In the middle of a pandemic, divided nation, to mask or not to mask, and what does blm and Antifa really stand for??? Many friendships have been destroyed and businesses have suffered! It's been a year most of us cannot wait to see end!

I need to remind myself of positive things going on...not the violence or police defunding , political unrest, etc. but instead  looking at the good and great things happening. Right now, people are having to determine what they believe and to know if they have a faith that is worth living for and dying for!              

In my own life, this year has had many ups and downs...heartbreaks and mountaintops !!!!  

We had five of our children graduate this year......two became R.N.s,one graduated basic training in the airfare, another from w.c.t.c. as a dental hygienist and another as a machinist from w.c.t.c.

due to the pandemic ,we weren't allowed to celebrate their achievements with other family and friends...Wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time!

Then, our youngest son got married. another wonderful life event but only five people were allowed at the wedding... sad because we have 14 children, plus spouses, and grandchildren plus our daughter in laws side of the family!

It is now 2022, and we are still being held hostage by the "pandemic"......There are vaccine mandates everywhere, families are being divided over the vaccine and the world is in absolute turmoil !!!

I don't know what the future holds, but I do know who does!

God's promises are YES and AMEN !!!!

He is the lover of our souls and the lifter of our heads!

I will stand on His promises and trust Him for His Grace, even in the middle of the muddle!

 Jesus alone is our way maker, promise keeper, light in the darkness! He is the answer! Help me, Lord to be still and know you are God!!!!
