Keeping Up Your Faith

If you have faith, you believe with a firm conviction that things will get better in your times of trouble and hardships. When we feel helpless about a situation or event, we have to put our trust in God. In my times of weakness, I pray to God that he will give me renewed strength. God is my source of power and well-being; with God by my side, who can be against me?

Always make time for prayer in your life, as it will bring you closer to God, and thank him every day for the blessings bestowed on you. Read your Bible and see how it can help you in your daily living and how you can be a better steward of God. Read a daily devotion and consider how to apply it to your day today. Listen to uplifting and relaxing music and sing praises to God today. Make friends with like-minded people and reach out to others.

Belief in God is based on Spiritual belief rather than proof. You don’t have to see God believe he genuinely exists. Faith is found in religion and being involved in your church. Faith comprises trust, conviction, belief, religion, your church, and persuasion. Without faith, we would feel our life had no purpose or meaning. We need faith to survive in the World and to be with God someday in heaven.

Take time to be by yourself and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Looking at God’s majestic beauty in the World should strengthen your faith in God. God’s creation shows us that he has faith in us to be good stewards of the land so that people can enjoy the beauty God has laid out for us.

Wear your faith proudly and pass it on to others. Faith tells us that when we get up in the morning, God has a belief-filled day waiting for us. Faith allows us to know that we will live on spiritually forever and our life has a great and glorious purpose in God’s eyes. Keep up your faith every day, and be steadfast.

Getting Your Hair Done and Going To Farmers Market With Covid -19

My hair was done today at Main Street Styles in Clear Lake, Iowa. My hairdresser Jewell wore a mask while she worked on my hair, and I also wore a show. She had hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, rubber gloves, a new face mask for her customers, and more sanitizing agents. Jewell dyed my hair which was in dire need of hair dye. She then washed my hair, cut, dried, and styled it. I felt like a new woman with my hair cut and dyed.

All of the chairs were wiped down, and the tools were sanitized. The magazines were given to the customer to keep or thrown in the trash. The cover that she placed over me was sprayed down and sanitized. Her salon goes the extra mile to keep you looking good while practicing what is necessary to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

When I paid my bill and set up my next appt., there was hand sanitizer by the checkout counter, which I used before I left. We must thank our hairstylists as they put their lives on the line while working so close to us.

My trip to the Farmers Market in Clear lake, Iowa, was perfect. People were practicing social distancing. You just had to point at the item you wanted, which was put in a plastic bag for you. I left with a beautiful loaf of Apple cranberry bread and one dozen brown eggs. When I got home, I tried a slice of bread, and it was delicious.

The items available at the Farmers Market were spinach, onions, rhubarb, honey, soaps, bread, herbs, eggs, and much more. The vendors at the Farmers Market were very friendly and explained how their bread was made and if it was gluten-free. We must thank our food providers for having fresh food available with the Covid – 19 Virus.

Thank everyone often on the front lines in this pandemic for us. Always wear your mask for the next life you save might be your own, a friend, a family member, and all the people someone holds dear in their heart. God Bless you and yours.
