The holidays are such an important time for family and friends. I am writing this as my wife and I labor over what we should do for the holidays. Some family and friends are gathering together in homes, which makes for a lot of close contact. We wanted to take a trip across the country to family, but planes, trains and buses are crowded environments. Ug!!! What to do? Well, I know this. The Word of God says: in 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
I just need a sound mind to make a good decision!!!
Also, in Psalm 91: 3 it states: Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence (COVID).
Then my daughter shared with me the exact words I shared with her: You have to do what you feel comfortable with.
I do not want my life to be controlled by COVID or fear of COVID. Yet I need to be wise also – my wife and I are in our later 60’s!!
God, grant us Your wisdom and peace and protection in all we do. Amen
