Indeed, our words are so powerful, our response to a situation, and our actions too. It is so true that the world is looking at us and watching to see how we are responding to this current situation. May we shine the love of Jesus into the world around us with the hope that He gives us. Much love to you sweet friend, enjoyed your thoughts so very much!

I think everyone's trust waivers sometimes, but I just turn my focus from my problems to my Father, and it changes things around. I also try to focus on what I CAN do to help the situation. For instance, as soon as I found out toilet paper was an issue in my town, I collected some old t-shirts, cut them in 6x6 squares, and sewed two layers together for us girls to use for tinkling. It has made our tp last a lot longer. ~smile~<br />Be blessed,<br />Laura of Harvest Lane CottageMrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143425638178770788.post-57681724663128759012020-04-22T20:29:17.282-04:002020-04-22T20:29:17.282-04:00Dear Lorraine,

I've been thrilled with God's provision during this time, since every time he puts it on someone's heart to help us out or bring us groceries, it's when my daughter is feeling worried about God providing for her about her future. God is using it as a training time. Isn't that neat?<br />Blessings,<br />Laura of Harvest Lane CottageMrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.com
