Encouragement

 

Encouragement

It seems that Contra Virus lowers its hissing head for a moment then raises it again to even greater heights. There is no wonder that people are growing ever more cautious and worried. The devil has hidden the most valuable mode of communication of love. Christian light is hidden behind a mask of protection. A smile light the day and way to those who are stressed. Words of encouragement are muffled and hard to understand from the six foot social distancing. Many are becoming recluse; leaving their abode only when necessary. The younger and stronger are carrying in supplies for the weak and elderly. Where will this pandemic end and when? Such questions draw out no real answers. It will end when God calls a halt to the devils work and when His propose is fulfilled. Be of good cheer. Our Lord has overcome the world.
