As we are aware, life and death are not in our hands. Life is a gift from God. Most of us desire to live a long, fruitful and enjoyable life. However, between the time we are born until the time of our death the vicissitudes of life befall upon all of us.
We are at a time now where we can help to lengthen our life, as well as others. It is hurtful that so many people all over the world are dying due to this “war” or battle of unvaccinated people. Science has proof that the COVID vaccination reduces the severity and in many cases prevents death. Many of us have family members or friends that have died from COVID. I had a brother, niece and sister-in-law that died from COVID. It is powerful.
Oftentimes, when I voice the “Lord’s Prayer” in my head, I wonder if the part, “forgive us our debts as we forgive others their debts” can apply to the “debt” we owe one another because we can make a difference by getting vaccinated.
