Gmorning QWorld and God's blessings abound!
So here are a few reasons why so many people are chillin' during the worldwide shutdown: many single people work either really long days, or hold down two jobs to make ends meet. (by design)…many married people are working one job each, but that is still two jobs per household.
Getting a chance (and being paid) to stay home for a few weeks allows for a few things:
-
eliminates travel expense (auto, gas, maintenance, time in traffic gridlock)
-eliminates the need for fast food purchases (eating on the run)
-eliminates childcare expense (bonus: you can have your children at your side at long last, being watched, taught, and nurtured by you, not by a stranger.)
-you can re-establish good healthy sleep (no more crazy-early mornings after staying up too late because you can't or won't sleep.)
-you have more time to move around -and use your own legs! (you are not stuck behind the wheel of a car or behind the computer at your desk, unless you want to be lol)
-your earnings may be down, but that is good: less payroll tax money available to bad guys to use. They cannot easily fund the crap that hurts our society and its people.
-speaking of spending less: you are also pinching off the flow of money to those supplying the foods that make you sick, the medicines that don't help, the clothing that is made in sweatshops around the world (which doesn't fit and is such poor quality anyway), the toys that are not healthy for our children, the entertainment that is damaging our minds and souls….
I could go on, but you get my point. This is a major reset. Don't fret, it's like Day 7, or Year 7….an epic time of REST, given to us so we can reflect, we can talk with one another, let our brains daydream and actually THINK for once…a time to give hugs, send cards, make phone calls, write journals, re-connect, and most important of all: to pray.
The bad guys thought they would be hurting us. They just gave us what God wants us to have: a time of peace. A time to get centered. A time to set things right.
Take full advantage! I thank the Lord Jesus for his continued blessings! Amen WWG1WGA!
