“Did you get your vaccination? Why? When? I got mine. You should get yours. What are you waiting for? You will die without it.  Are you crazy?  Get it, now.  Why would you even think about it? What are you waiting for?

YIKES!

This is kind of what I’ve been hearing since the vaccination arrived in our State in January, and even months before it got here, there was avid discussions from both sides.  Those who are for it, do not want to hear from those who are going to “wait” before making the decision.

The truth is, I have some underlying conditions that might trigger responses to the vaccinations.  And quite frankly, even after getting the “okay” from doctors.  I am going to wait until early summer, before I make a “permanent decision” about getting the vaccine.  Whether I will, or whether I won’t, remains to be seen.  And that is entirely up to “me” as it well should be for each individual.

Gathering the evidence, and speaking to your health care professionals, and weighing in on the pros and cons, is your decision.

I’m not “against” vaccines per se, or those getting eagerly in line to receive it.  If that is what will give normalcy to these individuals, and protect the vulnerable population…of course that is wonderful!  And if that’s what is going to eradicate this insidious virus from our lives, according to doctors, and the individuals getting them, okay. To each their own, amen.

Personally, my feelings on the whole subject is simple.   God is my vaccination against this Virus.  I trust Him fully on my behalf, and know I am under His wings of protection.

Now. Please don’t misunderstand, or misquote me!

I know there are many who have received the vaccine, or scheduled to get vaccinated, and believe in God.  This isn’t to say I have more faith, than those who already are vaccinated.  NO!  It merely is a testimony on my behalf, that I believe in God and His protection, and that is my spirit speaking from within.  I just really trust God, completely and fully.

I don’t know what I shall do.  However at this point, we both will wait. My husband, and myself, until at least early summer, before we make a conclusive decision. We want to see how things go, and pray about it.  Then we will make the decision with God’s help.

Until then, we hide under His wings of protection, and seek solace and peace in the cleft of the Rock.

My Almighty and forever, LORD!

“To all of my brothers and sisters, no matter about the vaccine, whichever route you choose is your business, may God be with you,  through this turbulent time.  May His light shine upon you, and guide you, direct you, and heal you, in Jesus name, Amen!”

“Father God, You are my Vaccination and my truth, my light and my protection in ALL things, now and always, thank You for all You are and do, in Jesus name, Amen.”

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

Revelation 22:13

If we’re fortunate and blessed, we awaken each morning,  realizing God has granted us another day. With that new day, comes an array of duties,  we all have a routine of sorts…I call it a “Loop.”

We have a designated set of responsibilities.  Those of us who are retired, transport over to a new way of life.  Waking up a little later,  taking our time doing things, because we’re not usually subject to time constraints, as when working, or as when we were younger.

Then there are those in an “empty nest”  who find they may have more time.  Of course some may be enjoying the extra time, still others feeling saddened by the “void.”

Some have lost loved ones, and are adjusting to a different way of “living” without that individual.  The list goes on, and can be quite extensive overall.  But one thing that emerges forward, our life is a “constant Loop” for the most part.

It goes around and around and comes full circle.  And we’re all going to have some sort of “loop” in our days here on earth.  We all share things that others go through, its not uncommon what we are experiencing as God states in His word–(1 Cor. 10:13)– We all share the same temptations at times, we go through trials, we go through triumphs, and we go through losing something, or someone so very important. We lose and gain friends along the way.   Crises, illness, life, death. “Loops.”

The only discernable, and distinctive difference, is how we handle the “loops” — Those of faith know that within that “loop” is the Great I Am, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega...Our Father.

When He, is within our “loop,” there isn’t anything that we can’t handle through His Sovereignty.

There isn’t anything we can’t face through His love.

There isn’t anything we can’t accomplish through His blood.

There isn’t anything that can’t be fulfilled, through His grace and magnificence.

When you find yourself in the loop at the end of the day…look for the One constant in that circle.

Look and embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, who brings us peace and understanding, protection and security, and leads us to the green meadows and still waters.

When we do that, and embrace Him,  the “loop” we encounter, becomes an ease of circumference, that is driven by our faith, and by His love.  Amen!

“Father, thank You for Your presence in my life, morning, noon and night, You are my One constant, and the reason I’m able to get through the “loops” of life, today, tomorrow, and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
