Despite all the craziness going on in our world today, I trust that you had a good weekend and I pray that you and your family are able to enjoy the slower pace that we suddenly find ourselves thrust into...at least most of us anyway.
My heart goes out to those in the medical field right now, as they work on the front-lines of this COVID-19 pandemic, as well as, to those in retail, and truckers, as they struggle to keep America in food and toilet paper. If people would stop hoarding certain items it would help! 😖

| Empty Toilet Paper Aisle @ Walmart I'm glad we had some extra toilet paper on-hand, because we haven't been able to find any anywhere. |
So, how are you and your family doing in the midst of all this? I pray that each and every one of your households are well, and that your extended families are well also. What is life like at your house these days?
I'm still working my two days a week, but all programs have been cancelled and our doors are shut until April 30th. It's quite strange to be all alone in the nature center with it's doors locked and the shades pulled. Saturday I put together an online prairie chicken program and it seemed to go over well. I may work on making more of those during this time of lockdown.
On the home-front, I haven't been doing a whole lot...mostly just keeping up with the basics and enjoying the extra time to work on my blog and just be. I've really enjoyed being able to spend extra time with you all here, because this truly is where my heart is. 💗
Let's get on with this week's post...shall we? 😊
I awoke to...
... lingering dreams of a friend that had come for a visit (I need to call and check on them today), birds happily singing outside my bedroom window, and gray skies.
What I'm thinking...
... I am thinking about and praying over everyone and everything surrounding this pandemic. How can I pray for you?
What I'm thankful for...
... God's mercy and protection over friends and family.

The weather...
... Right now it's 55 degrees and cloudy, but, despite rain chances here and there, the week ahead looks pretty nice! I'm hoping to spend some time outdoors this week!

ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm glad to hear it! I've had several libraries and homeschool groups forward it. Seems to be going over pretty good! Thanks for reading, watching, and letting me know! Blessings! <3
DeletePlease pray for my daughter - an ICU RN with compromised immunity, and a weekend ability to fight infection. She is also asthmatic, as is her daughter (my grand-daughter) who is a nurse in a nursing home. Please pray for all of us.
ReplyDeleteDear Heavenly Father,
DeleteLord God, I come before you right now and lift these dear ones up to you...this mother, daughter, and grandmother. Father God, I pray the 91st Psalm over these precious women and plead the Blood of Jesus over each of them, individually, as well as, over them as a family unit.
Father, I pray the peace that surpasses all understanding over them and I ask that You would make Yourself very real to them in times of trouble. Give them a hunger and a thirst for Your Word and help them to stand on it's promises at every turn.
We thank You for Your love and care of them, Lord, and we praise You and thank You that they are safe, healed, and whole.
In Jesus' name...
Amen!
Read Psalm 91 and stand on its promises. If you are a child of God, they belong to you!
God bless you, dear lady! <3
