In a time not so far in the past, we were at peace with each other and living without Covid-19’s fear, isolation, and distrust

Orange Beach, Alabama January 2020 – Pre-Closures and No Chinese Virus

Seems so far away now. So very far away.

In less than one year, we have all lost so much. So very, very much.

But, in the dark and cold of winter, we all will soon be celebrating something wonderful and glorious which will overshadow all the tribulations we will have experienced or will ever experience.

We know not what God’s purpose was in this year. We need not speculate.

Just trustfully surrender and the providential will of God will be done here as it is in heaven.

But one thing we do know.

Our Savior was born.

And opened a place for us for eternity in heaven.

Not because we were good, but because we were loved.

About the Author – Michael Stevens Retired attorney. Military veteran. Bible trundler. Michael Stevens writes with the precision of a jurist and the conviction of a watchman.
