Oh yeah i forgot to say.. My Nephew is getting married Saturday week.. I have pulled out from attending.. See i am in two of the vulnerable groups.. I am 50+ in age and i am a diabetic so i have to avoid crowds.. They are having an outside marriage.. The Australian government has stipulated that outside events can have 500 people attending.. But all indoor events can only have 100 people.. my Nephew is having an indoor reception after the outdoor marriage.. And now they have 98 people there.. Oh and the catering staff also factor into that number.. Anyway i wished the bride well and hope by the wedding day things have not changed for the worse..
Must be weird getting married during a pandemic.. But as the old saying says,, Life goes on..

Well, even in the midst of the storm, God shows His love! I'm a person who sees the little things, it's the little things people say or do that say "I love you" Lord knows this (after all, He made me that way ) and many times in my life, the Lord will show His love to me with those little things. This was one of them:
Our schools are shut down for 3 weeks, this happened BEFORE our city started shutting down other places.
I was close to being due for my regular grocery shopping for the month, though now it's going to be different for a period of time since people are reacting out of fear and hoarding things. And I'm not just talking about the toilet paper. I find myself having to make small trips to the store every few days as stores get their stuff restocked.
I have been to several stores that close when going out of business, and last weekend that is what our grocery stores looked like According to the web site, the one frozen thing my husband and boys really like from a local store was sold out.
Well, I was browsing the frozen food department when the Lord told me to look down at the bottom shelf of one of the freezers and right there was a box of the stuff!!!! Box was torn, and both ends were open but the entire 10 count was in place. I gladly took it and put it in my cart.
Right there in the middle of the chaos I could feel His presence and warmth wash over me as He was whispering to me " I love you GG!"
"Thanks Jesus! I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!"
Got home, walked in the door and my boys (who are both under 10) were so excited. "Thanks mom for getting these!"
Me: "Oh no, not 'thanks mom'... remember we looked online and it said the store was sold out....... better be saying 'Thanks Jesus' because this was the only box and I almost didn't see it, Jesus told me to look down and then I saw it."
Their little faces lit up the room. One smiled "THANK YOU JESUS!" while my other little guy who is a ham but sometimes very bashful ran down to the basement where we couldn't see him (though forgets we CAN hear.... "THANK YOU JESUS!!!!"

Today I needed to go to the grocery store; however the big one I usually shop at was WAY PACKED! I mean the parking lot was worse than the day before Thanksgiving, no way anyone can keep a 5-6 foot distance in that crowd..... no thanks, I'll go to another one and pay a little more to avoid the crowd.
We're taking care of elderly family members now (one who is a social butterfly and not to happy having to stay home 1-for his health and 2- due to lockdown) So, a request was made for Sunday for a special meal that I am lacking ingredients for.
Now I always buy this sauce mix at the bigger store b/c they carry it. I realized as I pulled into the parking lot of the other store that they don't carry the one we like (I've looked many times and have tried the brand they carry, we don't like it as much). I realized I would have to get this other brand and thought "oh well, at least they carry the mix (I have tried many times making this sauce from scratch and have yet to succeed)
Well, I'm walking down the isle, didn't even realize I was where the little sauce packets were (not what I was looking for at the moment) then realized "oh this is the isle the sauce packets are on, better get it while I'm here thinking of it" started to look for the other brand and right in front of me like a glowing light (literally) was the pack of the brand we like!!!!!! Only 2 packs, which is just what I needed!!!
I KNOW they have NEVER had this brand there before!!!!

the pollen situation is real.
so much unrelated-to-virus sneezing and congestion and respiratory issues; so much panic
i'm still working but don't want to have to burn all my vacation for an inevitable shutdown from lack of demand. which seems petty to me. why should i fret over that? but i do. i'm a fool. it's not the money; it's the time - much more valuable commodity
we're blessed to be in a situation where we could financially 'weather' a fair time without income ((thankful!!)) and if/when i am forced into that situation, i'm looking forward to being able to devote time to helping my wife with the garden, something i normally just don't have time to do - so that would be blessing, too
i'm concerned about beloved ones who live paycheck-to-paycheck already, and are out of work ((or probably soon will be)) for an indefinite amount of time. i wish i could take care of them all; i pray, and when i talk to them i try to encourage them to think about other things, not to be anxious, to trust, to be grateful for what they have.
i'm fascinated, astonished and disgusted by how humanity is acting and reacting.

Its nice that you can get all of your regular snacks? I can't even get toilet paper or bread. Makes me wonder what your doing right? It also make me question a God who's making sure you get all your name brand favorite foods with no inconveniences or disruptions to your life, while He sits by watching thousands of others suffer and die from Covid19?

Same here... I suspect that the panic and the financial/economic impact will be more devastating on society than the virus itself? I'm in Illinois and our Governor just ordered my business to be shut down. No paycheck to pay the rent in 10 days. We went from a booming economy with record low unemployment, to a recession and a new record for unemployment benefits. The Feds have spent over $1.4 trillion already, enough to pay-off all student loans. Nearly $5 trillion in stock market losses, hitting 401k's to the tune of 35%. thus far. I fear the damage from this pandemic will be felt for quite some time.

Dan58, please forgive me if my laughing is offensive in anyway, but your post was like a child that didn’t get anything he wanted for Christmas..... You are so blessed and loved by God!
I pray God would open your eyes and show you all the blessings He has given you and your heart wells up with laughter and joy over God’s love for you!

I never said I'm getting all my regular snacks, or that there's no inconveniences or disruptions. In fact going to this smaller store is an inconvenience as it is further away and when stores don't have what we're needing in stock and have to go back every other day, well that is a disruption to my daily life AND an inconvenience.
There are a lot of things we enjoy that we're just doing without for the time ( it will make it that much more enjoyable when we do get them again) And I have have taken to making bread from scratch much more frequently than I have in the past.
Toilet paper WILL return to the shelves, in the mean time we're okay because I buy that in bulk at membership store (which I had just bought my regular supply right before the outbreak and people went crazy buying.
Like I mentioned in my first post on this thread, I'm a person who gets enjoyment from little things
We're going through a time where everywhere you look is chaos and disruption and all sorts of terrible things. What I haven't shared in those 2 post (because I don't want to ramble to much and because they are stories for other threads sometime ) is how the Lord used those moments right there in the supermarket to bless and reach others around me. I was happy and giddy and a little vocal (though I thought I was saying things in my head) one lady turned around looked at me and laughed! She said she had been so stressed lately and needed a good laugh. We ended up being by each other in a long checkout line and started talking. She shared how my little out burst of joy and "thanks Lord" reminded her of when her Grandma would take her to church as a little girl and the fond memories she had of it. Then we got to talking about the old hymns she remembers her Grandma singing. Now I am a sucker for humming a good old hymnal. We stood there reminiscing and started humming "oh the blood of Jesus", next thing you know, there were about 4-5 other people around us who joined in, we went from humming to singing! Long, sad, depressed faces turning into smiles and hope.
What am I doing right? Well, I dunno how to answer that , because I don't think there is an answer to that.
Would you rather I tell all the negative things going on in my life right now? Because they exist, I just choose not to let them become the biggest part of me.

I understand your frustration. I, too can’t find toilet paper at the stores.
Tomorrow I shall go online and see what’s available.
I did find some bread today. We haven’t gotten sick yet either, but we’re ready when it happens.
There will be a lot of government help for small businesses. You’ll make it.
Always remember, only the enemy means for our problems to be bad for us........ God always allows them to happen for our good.
Hang in there, all this will turn out good for us! Daddy loves His children, amen.

If things are beyond our control then we must accept the reality of today. Not the past and not to worry about tomorrow. All we have is today. Reality puts us in a inconvenient situation but how often did our ancestors face inconvenience in order to protect the opportunity for us in future generations to enjoy the convenience of future prosperity? I know my country I think of the 1777 frigid winter at valley forge where the soldier mostly farmers camped out and facing hunger, sickness and frostbite. Where the woman would tirelessly knit blankets, socks, gloves and hats to try and prevent another sawed off foot or finger. In total, about 1,700-2,000 troops died during the Valley Forge. The people believing the cause to be worthy and worth the inconvenience.
A nation divided as families, brother and father sometimes on opposite side of the battlefield. Free men thought it was worth it to risk the fate of a minni ball penetrating the flesh, shattering anything in it's way and due to battle formations it would often travel between 2 or 3 bodies and thus creating prime opportunities for infection. All in order to preserve the Union and free the slave.
A world at war with our young boys in the trenches facing poisonous gases and brutal close combat.
The world in a viscous cycle as nations again rise against each other. A war so great that most men had to fight. The homefront being left to the woman who stepped up to work the factories in times before the victories of worker unions. A nation United in the support of the war and the buying of war bonds to pay for it.
A Korean war that brought freedom to the people of the South who was equally facing the slavery of communism.
In Vietnam our teenagers being drafted into a highly controversial war that looking back started with the same intention as the Korean war but was ultimately doomed from the beginning. Stumbling through the jungle, rain, bug, traps, night and day ambushes, and only for those who returned to be met with disgust.
Other conflicts including Desert Storm and the response to evil in the world. In 9/11 the inconvenience of waiting longer in airports, or increased border security, a loss in a sense of security for all Americans was brought on by this
Years of global turmoil and increasing hostility within the evils of the world have created events that leave our people maimed, one eyed, loss of hearing and a forever struggle with PTSD as they face a world and lifetime of inconvenience often wishing they never would of left the battlefield alive.
We also must think of the homefront. The woman and children through out history within each historical struggle was left often without a father physically or mentally their life was ended on the battlefield. Woman having to do the work of men while raising the children. These same children who would often find themselves again on some distant battlefield.
All within the hope and achnolodgment that some inconveniences are bound to happen but the world must endure for the greater good. Rather it be freedom, security, or to protect the vulnerable from a virus. We must endure together. If Christian history has taught anything it should be that inconveniences have never stopped the Christian from doing right and trusting God. Much of history is the hope for religious freedom and that hope was often worth dying for.
Let us last remember a Pandemic of the past called
Yellow Fever- Phylogenetic analyses indicate that the virus originated from East or Central Africa, with transmission between primates and humans, and spread from there to West Africa.
At least 25 major outbreaks followed in North America, such as in 1793 in Philadelphia, where several thousand people died, more than nine percent of the total population.
The American government, including George Washington, had to flee the city, which was the capital of the United States at the time. In 1878, about 20,000 people died in an epidemic in towns of the Mississippi River Valley and its tributaries. The last major outbreak in the US occurred in 1905 in New Orleans.
Anyways, we have much to be thankful for especially as we compare and contrast to the past. Yes we may have to find alternative ways to wipe our rear ends but we will survive.

As I mentioned before, we get the blessing now of caring for shut in older family members. One who was born and raised during the GREAT DEPRESSION....hard times turned the father into a drunken abusive alcoholic who nearly killed them. A time when divorce was highly taboo, the church helped the young mother get herself and children away and safe. He tells stories of how they had NO FOOD (often living on the streets) but the mother prayed and somehow they never went hungry.
God is not a respecter of persons and Hebrews 13:8 tells us:
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
So, if He did it then (and for the generations upon generation before) why be fearful that He would stop now?

Im looking after mum and dad.
Pray for peace in my household because mum and dad dont always get along if they are stuck with each other too much, but thankfully we have a spare bedroom and ia can always go to my garden.
The rest of my brothers and sisters are on their own so they can easily self isolate.
I remember watching Gone with the Wind and reading the book of what women went through when the men were away at war. When Margaret Mitchell was asked what her novel was all about, she simply said 'survival'.
we have got through so many things in my country as a nation so far...in the past we had friends dying of alcohol related abuse and idoicy, pike river mine disaster, cave creek, cot death, aids, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, rail disasters, bush fires, plane crashes, cylcones, gallipoli and flu epidemics. we had half our nations workforce flee, they called it the 'brain drain' because of no jobs and unemployment with majority moving to australia and not returning to pay exorbitant student loans.
Lets pray that this virus will also be 'gone with the wind' or at lest sunk to the bottom of the sea.

People are panic buying all the canned/ packaged goods on Walmart.com. I was fortunate to be able to order a 6-pack of Knorr's rice sides and an 8-pack of microwave mac and cheese.
AND now, quantities of EVERYTHING online are being limited to 1 or 2 per purchase. But you know darn well, people are gonna do 3 or 4 separate orders so that they CAN still hoard and buy.. Making it harder for people like myself who can't lug home groceries, to now HAVE TO do exactly that (provided they're even in stock in the store) because all the canned and dried goods are sold out online, and can't be delivered to my house..
To any of you hoarders out there, SHAME ON YOU FOR BEING GREEDY LITTLE TURDS and making disabled people like me go without the essentials that I need to survive through this.

my turn to answer
we are doing ok! i'm currently on break from work since i'm a temp worker for a school district. i'm a little bummed that i won't get paid (since i only get paid for the hours i work), but God is faithful! my husband's work schedule has changed from monday through friday, 8 to 5, to tuesday through friday, 7 to 6. we have everything we need. i believe our grocery stores here are doing an excellent job at keeping the shelves stocked. each time we go to the store, we find the essentials we need, even if we have to switch brands for a little while.
how am i spending my spare time? netflix lol!!! although i'm burned out from it. i'm trying to spend more time on my hobbies.
oh! i'm also grateful my brother lives next door to my parents, who live 2 hrs away from me. brother is making sure my parents have everything they need. it's funny. yesterday i was chatting with my dad, and he said my brother has told them they can't leave the house. "he's being mean to us!" lol he's totally joking about that though.

how am i spending my spare time? netflix lol!!! although i'm burned out from it. i'm trying to spend more time on my hobbies.
oh! i'm also grateful my brother lives next door to my parents, who live 2 hrs away from me. brother is making sure my parents have everything they need. it's funny. yesterday i was chatting with my dad, and he said my brother has told them they can't leave the house. "he's being mean to us!" lol he's totally joking about that though.
