To: venizelos; A virtuous woman

I’m not saying that POTUS and the Q-Team are all-powerful or all-knowing. I’m sure there are plenty of things that might happen which could take them by surprise.

But a bioengineered superflu from China? This move was predictable One way or another, the Q Team is prepared.

Perhaps they already have a vaccine? Or a cure? Or perhaps they know something about the limits of the virus’s life cycle that we don’t?
Let’s Trust the Plan.
****************************************************************************
Well, I’m not exactly how to take your “TRUST THE PLAN”. I am reminded of old sayings like:

“Man Plans, and God Laughs.”
“no plan survives contact with the enemy”
“Strategy is a system of expedients”.

Despite our most careful planning, the Road of Life is unpredictable. So I place my trust in God. And since “God helps those who help themselves”, I prepare and not just spiritually.

Spent lots of time on the farm, where we always canned/preserved enough food to get through the winter and early spring. To this day, I stock the pantry the same way so that we have sustenance until we start the next year’s harvest.

And that includes the usual medications we might need. Today, my daughter called and she and her daughter are sick with the flu. I sent over a care package of just what she wanted —I think she thinks we are her personal grocery and pharmacy delivery service.LOL

The unknowns are what haunts me. I found out long ago, that If I just imagine the very worst scenario and prepare for that, I no longer worry and sleep much better. That’s just how I am. YMMV.

God helps those who help themselves - is it in the Bible?
https://www.gotquestions.org/God-help-themselves.html

This saying is usually attributed to Ben Franklin, quoted in Poor Richard’s Almanac in 1757

But, since You place Your trust in GOD, He gives you the Wisdom to prepare!
