My thoughts as far as preparation Wendy, are to list and store up all that you can for your needs, before the 17th. Heidi's thought to have groceries delivered is a good consideration, if that is a possibility. We do grocery pick up here, ordering from the stores site, then driving to pick the items up - hopefully you have such a choice if the restrictions were to become more severe there. If getting any essentials will become difficult, consider who are reliable friends or family who might deliver necessities to you as you need them. Here, there are restaurants that will deliver. We have medical groups that come to the home if desired. Hopefully you have that option there too. Just think and seek the Lord from now till the 17th, on how to accomplish being able after then, to have all the connection's you might need, in place. We all so sympathize with you, and I would say we're still all in various stages of disbelief at what is taking place in our countries and world today. I even heard a well known minister say the same! What we all share in together, is our faith in Jesus; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our love for the brethren, prayer for one another, and trust that He is our Help in this time of trouble. Dear Lord, thank You for Your eye's that are upon Wendy, and us all who are Your children. We take Your hand Father, which gives us comfort, security, peace trust and confidence in Who You are and that we are Yours. You are our Rock Lord. You shelter us, protect us, encourage and give us peace by Your Word, power and strength which we lean on and rely in. Cause us to draw nearer to You Lord, through the truth of Your Word, through worship, praise, love, and prayers going forth for all that is on Your heart. The cry of our heart, is to hear You call us up to be with You Lord; forever to be with You. :bible Amen. Wendy keeping you in prayer :prayer-hands: (hugs) Thank you so much, everyone, for your prayers and comforting and encouraging words. I am feeling less stress over it this morning than I was yesterday. I do have my groceries delivered and my vaccinated adult daughter lives with me too, so she picks things up for me from the shops. She has had only the first "jab" so far and thankfully, no reaction to it but I'm worried about how she might be after the second one because I've heard that reactions often happen then. Arthur, I will pray for your situation too in Canada....I've heard some terrible stories about the things going on there. I'm astonished that we are still here to witness these things going on....surely it means that the Rapture is almost here and we will be going HOME! :flyup: Heidi, I just noticed that you also live in Canada so I will be praying for you, too. There is at least three of us. Myself, Heidi and Regina. Thank you for your prayers. Canada has turned its back on God and now we are being governed by godless men and women. We are getting what we deserve, IMHO. Still, God is ever faithful. Canada was founded as the Dominion of Canada. The inspiration from the name was taken from Psalm 72:8. Psalm 72:8 New King James Version 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth. So, we dedicated our country to God upon inception. Even though we are faithless, God is ever faithful and hasn't forgotten. Praying for Australia. I feel a special kindred spirit with other countries of the Commonwealth. :prayer-hands:
