I think we should thank Him for the experience of learning something new. Maybe learning how to cope better, live more simply, live closer with family, cook at home, live with no TP. I've had to learn to do other tasks in my job that aren't in my scope of practice but I found out that I can do hard things...with HIS help. I guess we just need to say Thanks for letting me have the ride! Oh, and wear that stupid mask. I've worn one for over 40yrs and haven't died yet or get overcome with my own breath! But then again, I'm not that smart! yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-53342392534115602032020-05-24T12:59:30.937-04:002020-05-24T12:59:30.937-04:00I think you're onto something.

Even with my sciency background, I find it hard to believe in the Big Bang creation of the universe, and grasp how life could evolve from primordial soup.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-52498279241085036132020-05-23T22:32:14.106-04:002020-05-23T22:32:14.106-04:00Well said.

He wanted to know what he should be thankful for, and as was pointed out to him, he didn't ask to be born smart, with smart parents who made sure he got the education so he could become Professor Smart and do so many clever things. He didn't ask to be born in a country and century where these things were possible. He had a lot to be thankful for.<br /><br />You have drawn the correct conclusion.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-40351304957488143702020-05-23T22:01:14.947-04:002020-05-23T22:01:14.947-04:00Agree to that.

More often to thank Him for his many gifts than to ask for favors though I do that when a loved one is in need. I like the comfort of knowing He is in charge.

There is an order to the universe that can only come from a divine being. To me life makes no sense without God being in charge of it all. Having said it, I do have to remember He is sovereign and will do what he had chosen to do even if it makes no sense to me at the time but he sees the bigger picture and how it all fits into his plans. My prayer is the truth will come out about the virus. I feel we have been manipulated and that angers me.<br /><br /><br />I have washed my hands so much they are chapped. I won't wear a mask though. I will be careful out there.<br /><br />Bettbettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-1370786761450608192020-05-22T23:33:32.302-04:002020-05-22T23:33:32.302-04:00Really smart people who tell and explain the weath...Really smart people who tell and explain the weather are often wrong..

But I would never say I'm an atheist. There HAS to be something bigger than the rest of us, for all the chaos we create around us, there IS a divine order to things. GOD sounds like a fine enough identifier to me. ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.com
