"A Community In Mourning"

Monday, April 20, 2020
Good morning/afternoon/evening/night to all the beautiful people.
I'm doing okay, not 100% great but just okay.  People in my community are succumbing to the Covid-19.  Two people that I worked with in the school system and the sister to one of these individuals died within this time frame:  Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.  The husband to one of these individuals is still in the hospital due to this virus. Four people (three from one family and a coworker to one of the family members).  People are protesting because they don't want to stay at home...what is wrong with them?
Okay, I can understand you have cabin fever.  Even if you go out in public why is it that you don't want to put a mask or gloves on?  Do you want to see just how many people you can affect with this virus?  Four people...three in the same family. Think about how quick it can spread in one house.
This stuff is real and it is in my neighborhood.  I'm not fearful but I am in mourning with my community because I know these people so well.
I'm loaded with card shares today because I didn't have time on Friday to post here.
Take a look:

This one was done on Sunday for the the family of the two sisters who passed away.


This one was done this morning.  I was trying to get myself out of this feeling of sadness.  No matter what is going on in this world, I know that the God I serve has it under control.  I still have hope in the invisible.  What I can't see, God is working through this trouble using it for our good.
I will submit this one to https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com

  
Have a blessed day everybody,
Lois

Lois, my heart aches from the loss of so many lives, there is so much we just don’t understand. i am trusting and believing that God will bring us through This pandemic but in his own time. By the way your cards are nice as usual! Take care.

Another great collection! I am devastated by the toll that this virus is taking on my community (the African American Community.) 70% of the AA people who contract this disease die. Crafting has provided a distraction for me but it is still very disheartening! Keep on creating and keep on praying. We are all in this together...well, most of us, anyway!
