This year has been some kind of crazy. Now that we are getting ready to go into another year, I just wonder what it is going to be like. I wonder if this virus will start to go away. I know that we have been through a lot, have had to make a lot of changes to our lives just to find some kind of normality through all of this.
We must prepare though for the coming year, because there is only one more month left in this year. We still have to take the precautions that have been set in place for us to follow. I was looking at some pictures of our family from years ago and thinking about how our lives were before this thing came and took over our world as we know it. We were happy and free to live a normal life without having to follow rules just to go outside and go to places without having to wear masks.
I look back at those years and think about how things were taken for granted…how we just didn’t have a care in the world even though things wern’t perfect. We lived like things were always going to be the same…like things would never change to be the way they are now. So much has happened and still is happening in our world that we have to be cautious about everything we do. Who would have ever thought that we would not be able to go to our favorite places? Who would have ever thought tha children could not go to school and hang out with their friends? Who would have ever thought that we would not be able to have a simple birthday party for our loved ones? Who would have ever thought that we would have to social distance to be around people that we know? Who would have ever thought that we would not be able to go to church?
This makes me think about what happened in Egypt when God sent the plagues because Pharoah did not want to do what God said about letting His people go. This makes my heart ache because I feel that our freedom has some how been taken away, our way of life. What is going to become of this world if there is no cure for this virus? I think about it all of the time. I know that God has us all in His hands, but people are dropping like flies every minute of everyday.
This is scary…terrifying even! Some just don’t care about wearing their masks. They walk around thinking that this is just some kind of joke, but it is not! Yes, death happens everyday, it is a part of life, but no one wants to die of this! Please people, do not be careless because you don’t care. Don’t think just because you’re not havig any symptoms that it cannot be caught, because it can. Think of the other person that you are coming in contact with; You are not just protecting yourself, you are protecting them also. It just does not make any since how many people walking around without wearing their mask.
This is serious, and not wearing a mask is just being wreckless, and careless, mean and hateful! We all have families. Think about those that have lost their loved ones because of this virus. Would you want someone coming around you without a mask on spreading germs? I would think not; matter of factly I know not.
To be honest it makes me very upset when I go some where and I see people walking around just like there is not anything deadly going around in this world! As I said before, please wear your masks. It is not hard to do. If you do not have one, there are many places that are selling them; so there is no excuse not to have some. When you wake up in the mornings, look at yourself and say to yourself,”I will not only protect myself, but I will also be protecting others by putting on my mask.”
Percautions have been set in place to protect us. Yes it is frustrating to put on something that has never had to be put on, but it is for our protection. Let us make this coming year the year that we show everyone that we care about ourselves, and them too by wearing our masks at all costs when we have to leave and go out.
May God bless America, and if you have not asked Jesus Christ to come into your hearts to be your Lord and Savior, He is waiting to hear from you. Amen.
