This picture of the rising
sun was taken three days ago April 9. The day my youngest son, Kent,
came to be with me for three days. If my calculation is correct that
was the day our Savior, Jesus Christ, was crucified. Today April 12,
is the day He was risen from the grave. It has been a very windy,
cold day, and no sunshine at all. All the churches are closed because
of the corona virus, and I am feeling pretty low, especially after
Kent left to go home. The past three days have been a real blessing
to me. I hardly thought about our country being shut down. Kent was
busy repairing my fence, and several other things. I was right beside
him most of the time he was here. He was very positive about this
terrible thing that shut our country down saying it would be gone by
the end of the month. As long as he was here I was positive also, but
now since he is gone, I am seeing, and hearing all kind of negative
things on the news. I have always been a strong person, and I believe
that is why my children are so strong, and fearless. But when one
reads their bible daily and prays, how can you keep from wondering if
this thing has been sent by God to punish a very sinful nation. For
those who only believe in the New Testament I can understand their
unconcern, but I truly believe in both the Old, and the New
Testament. And I do fear for what some of God's people have done to
destroy everything good God has created. The bible tells us that the
good will have to suffer with the bad, but I believe that means we
cannot continue to be the blessed nation we have enjoyed for years
because of the punishment God has put on the ungodly. Every human
makes up the plan of God. Certainly God knows the hearts of all. If I
have to give up my fun time in life I know I can manage that. When
God is ready for me to cease my foolishness, and spend more time
declaring His Word, I will be listening for the call.
I can now add before this day ended I can now see the sun. What a thrill I get from that. I believe I can bounce back into my old routine, and wait for what I think is “the best is yet to come.” I truly believe that some of the most sinful people will eventually be
don't change your mind after God has mercy on you. He may not have it a second time.
