My mil lives about 3 miles from me. She says she kind of likes this isolation thing, her candy drawer stays full, she can watch what she wants, and she might just continue this on through Christmas.”Y’all can leave my presents in the garage and ring the bell” LOL


I like that! I was just telling teenage daughter it is going to be like Christmas without all the Christmas stresses. However, her brother’s college graduation just got canceled and she is beginning to understand all her end of year high school senior events might be axed also. Too many times we neglect to think these young people are grieving things they have looked forward to with a lot of excitement. So we are going to have some sadness here for awhile.

You have a valid point. One of my nieces had to postpone her wedding yesterday. It was not to have been a large wedding but it's important to her that she have a traditional church wedding with family witnessing. Your young'us and others like my niece do need prayer, verbal support and assurance that all will be well. They will learn valuable life coping skills from our encouragement and patience. I hope we are all able to teach some Godly lessons passing on to the younger generations life truths about handling adversity. You and your kids are in my prayers too.
