Forever Wearing Masks

As we now are facing another year of viruses, we are still wearing masks. We are still social distancing, and we are still frustrated because of what is going on. This pandemic has really messed everything up. People are still passing away. I have never seen so much death until now. I know that death is apart of life, but this is not normal, but what is normal this day in time? Just as we were getting comfortable not having to wear our masks unless we wanted to wear them, here we are now having to wear them even if we do not want to. What will it be like next year this time? Will we still be going through the same thing? Will things be different? How can we feel safe when we go out? In some places, people are not wearing their masks, and I am talking about workplaces. Wearing masks are to protect us from catching the virus, but it does not work, because people are still getting sick. What can we do? Our hands are tied when it comes to this. There are those who will not get vaccinated because of how they believe, and there are those who will not get vaccinated because they do not want to. How can the spreading of the viruses stop if people will not get vaccinated? Numbers are going up instead of decreasing. Everyday the numbers change for the worst instead for the better. I am going to do some research on the number of deaths since last year and for the number of deaths this year. You may wonder why I would do something like that. I am going to do it because maybe when I tell my family they will get vaccinated, but then again maybe they will think about it. I know I have been talking about this subject for a very long time; I guess I do because it is important. It is important to me because I want everyone to be in the know about what is going on. Everyone doesn’t watch television to know what is going on. Maybe there are those who would rather not know about what is going on because of fear; maybe it causes stress, depression, and anxiety for them. Everyone looks at things differently. I suppose this is something that we are going to have to go through for sometime until a cure can be found for this. We never thought that there would be a vaccine for this, but some how they seemed to manage to create a vaccine, so let us pray for a cure.

SUMMER IN FULL SWING

Now that Summer is in full swing, it has been very hot even when the wind is blowing. The heat index is even hotter. The question is this, how are we going to be able to go out and have fun? What can we do to enjoy the Summer? Since we have to social distance just as before, how are people going to go to the pool to cool off? Some people have the luxury of having pools in their backyard, or maybe even indoor, so cooling off in the water is at their fingertips. Some people like going into the ocean when they are at the beach to cool off and enjoy the water, but recently there has been shark sighting in the ocean, and the beaches closed because of it.

This is the time of year when vacations are being taken, but what now? Is traveling outside the country still alright, or has it stopped because of this new virus? I just do not think it is a good idea to travel right now, but I know that people are going to do what they have to do vaccinated or not. Life goes on as if this never happened. I just hope and pray that everyone will get vaccinated who has not been vaccinated, the good thing about this is that it is free. What if there was a fee to get vaccinated that everyone could not afford to pay for? What would people think then? How would people feel about it? What would people say? What would people do? I consider this a blessing not having to pay for the vaccine to get vaccinated. W

THOUGHTS

What are your thoughts about how things are now? How do you feel about those who are not vaccinated and these viruses are still spreading rapidly? What are your opinions as to how to keep this from spreading? We are all in tis together. We must protect ourselves and those we are around. How do you feel about the mask situation? In your honest opinion, do you think they are stopping the spread of the viruses? How do you feel about still catching COVID-19, and the Delta Virus even though people have been vaccinated? Should there be a different vaccine for this Delta Variant Virus that will keep people from catching the virus since the vaccine for COVID-19 is not really keeping us from catching the virus? You can leave your answers in the comments.

As I always say, we must pray to God for this to go away. We must not give up hope, and we must not lose our faith in God. Just think that one day this may be a thing of the past that we will get to tell our grandchildren about; some sooner than others, but we must stay positive even while going through this dark time we are facing. With that being said, thank you all for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul. Stay blessed and stay safe. ©2021

Facing Another Virus

This year has turned out just like last year, but the difference is that there are vaccines for this virus, but who would have thought that we would be facing another virus? Who would have thought that we would still be wearing our masks even though we have been vaccinated, and who would have thought that we would be worrying about being extra careful? What is this world coming to? Why are we having to face this Delta Variant Virus, and where did it come from, and is it a mutation form of the COVID-19 Virus? We need answers, because all of this is just out of hand. We cannot live our lives freely as we want to like we were doing before all of this started. There was a time in our lives when we could enjoy ourselves with our families and children could go to school and have fun learning, and having fun with their friends. Now we still have to social distance, I can understand that, but who is to say that everyone has something? Masks are just to protect us from breathing in germs that could make us sick, because it they were protecting everyone, there would not be as many deaths even though they are being worn everyday. Yes, it is for our protection, but it makes it hard for some people to breathe; such as myself, but I still have to wear my mask no matter what. When the mask mandate was lifted, I thought that things were going back to normal even just for a little while. I thought we could have a little freedom from wearing them. It was said that the people who were vaccinated did not have to wear their mask if they did not want to unless the places where they went required it. I thought we could be normal, but now that this virus has come, we have to resort back to what we were doing in the first place. This really sucks! Pardon my language but this is just how I feel. Everyone should feel some type of way about this! everyday it is something different. You cannot even watch the news anymore without having to hear something about this pandemic that has been going on for a year now.

I absolutely wonder what the children feel about this. This has made the days darker than ever, but God still bring out the sun for us to feel warmth, and rain to cool us off, but most of all Jesus is still the light in this darkness that we face on a daily basis. What about the businesses, are they going to stay open through all of this, or are they going to close again? People have lost so much because of this, and even though a lot of businesses have opened back up I wonder what it is like. I wonder if they are getting the same kind of business that they were getting before tis happened.

There are children who are not old enough to get the vaccine to be protected. What about the new born babies, how are they being protected? This is something that they did not consider when they were making the vaccines; they did not think about the children. What about the side effects? They did not think about that either because it makes everybody feel different. Some have side effects as to where others don’t. I have gotten some of my strength back, but my body still feels weak at times. I never thought in all of my life that we would be going through something like this. I can just imagine what the rest of this year is going to be like. Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts on these viruses. I really want to know what you think, and how you feel about this situation that we are facing. Don’t forget to like. This will be aired on my show, Food for the Soul on Spotify as soon as it is recorded, so stay tuned for more of my insights on what I think and feel about what we are facing. Stay blessed. Don’t forget to talk to Jesus. He loves us all. We are all in this together. ©2021

Prayer for Today according to Psalm 103:19

Beautiful calmness

God, as I reflect on Your power, I am overwhelmed by how great and kind You are. You created all things, Your understanding is unsearchable—and yet You also care about the little details in my life. Thank You. Today, I want to remind myself that You are near, and You love me. Nothing is impossible for You! Hallelujah and Amen!
