This virus situation will end one day by Toni Star

 This covid virus will end one day. Of course no one knows when, but it will pass. So many of us are hurting; either physically, mentally or both. I have suffered and continue to suffer from both but I am not giving up and neither should you. In the Bible, Jesus said, "I am with you always, even to the end." What does that mean? It means that He is with you no matter where you go or what you do. Yes, I know. We can't see him but He is there spiritually, all the time.

No matter how you are suffering or where you are, don't give up. That is what the evil one wants you to do. He wants to discourage you so that you focus on the negative and awful situations, instead of focusing on Christ and all He can do to help you.

Keep in mind; Christ can't always take away the pain and suffering but He will be with you as you go through the trials and tribulations of life. He died so that you and I might live and have life abundantly. He died for us so that when we die and believe in Him, we will go and be with Him at the moment we pass on from this life to our lives with Him.

This pandemic has stretched us in so many ways. Instead of cowering under the stress of the virus; know that you are already a "winner" when it comes to being loved and cared for by Christ. No matter how bad it gets, you will come out on top. Feel free to cry and give all of your thoughts and fears to Christ. He will lift them up and away from you!

No fear can separate you from our dear Lord.

He knows everything about you.

There is strength in His staff and rod.

He will brush away every fear, every trace of blue.

Why? Because He loves you.

    Very good article. "This pandemic has stretched us in so many ways." Correct but as you noted focus instead on Jesus Christ for he is the way and the light. Don't let the evil one divert our attention away from Jesus.

Words from Ralph Waldo Emerson and me

-

The below words on a New Day come from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Each morning, as you wake up, you make a choice of what kind of day you will have. You may not do this consciously but you do make a choice. When you think about the word "choice" it should bring to mind that you, and only you, have the opportunity to make each new day happy and productive or  sad and empty. To make each day positive and good, begin it by saying, "Dear Lord, thank you for this day. Help me to make it the best day of the year! I may not be feeling the best today but with your help, I will do my upmost for you and I thank you for everything you do for me." Read the below words from Ralph Waldo Emerson, keep them in your heart each morning and enjoy the day! And remember, God is always with you--at the beginning of each day and at the end of each day! THIS NEW DAY Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no on...

Enjoy Christmas this year; put aside the virus

 This Christmas season and the Christmas season last year--2020, have been challenging, for sure!  The virus has taken away many freedoms we have held dearly and maybe have taken for granted. But,   you and I don't have to stay hostage to this virus or any virus. We can still be happy and enjoy the   season. Sure, many of us are unable to be with family and friends and that hurts; that hurts a lot.  But, when you think about the real meaning of Christmas and why so many of us celebrate it, we   can still be happy and positive and enjoy the happiness of the season.   Christians celebrate Christmas because that is when Christ was born. If Christ was never born, if   Christ never lived on this earth and was crucified, died and rose from the dead, there would be no   Christmas, there would be no laughter, hope or anything uplifting about the season we call Christmas.  Many are suffering this time of the year fro...

Thanksgiving at Grandma's by Toni Star

Thanksgiving at Grandma’s by Toni Star November, then and now, signals just one thing to me, Thanksgiving at Grandma’s.  Thanksgiving at her house was paradise!  The atmosphere of food, laughter and love was wonderful and unforgettable.  Thanksgiving morning at our house was busy.  Mom would prepare a salad or pie; we kids would dress up in our good clothes and then go outside to play. We had to be careful not to get dirty.  Good clothes in our family didn’t come easy.  We weren’t poor but we were very frugal with money and food.  Meanwhile, Dad stayed busy in the garage checking out the old Chevy.  He’d check the oil, water and the battery and then give the tires a kick, for readiness.  Often, I would go into the garage from time to time to see how he was doing.  Often, he found things for me to do-such as checking the oil and water and inspecting the car battery to see if was clean and water filled to the proper level. I alw...
