Lord, thank you for animating our lives with Your Holy Spirit, for our family’s safe behaviors of gathering outdoors and even the opportunity to see Christmas lights with our friends @neng213 and her caring husband, and our warm hearted #princess2015la who shared her views of life.

“Grandma, you don’t have to believe everything people say.”

“Oh and why is that? My —- lied to me twice. Now, I don’t trust this person, x.”

“But you know what, #princess2015la, I trust people. Then, if they hurt me, I tell them what’s in my heart. I also forgive them so I can love them again, especially if they are family.

“I learn so much from my dialogues with my 5yo. Yesterday, she talked about E1 bullying her friend, E2. I told her to understand E1 and consider giving him love that he needs. If he hurts verbally and physically to tell him stop, and let him know that his actions hurt you and your friends.

Later, she corrects me and says, “Grandma, if you don’t like something, just use your words.”

Oh my, the sage teacher spoke again. Could she embody perhaps my teacher/ Mom who wisely shared her wisdom?

Lord, please bless all our family/ friends, I am filled with their overflowing love!

Context: Of 79,194,606 cases worldwide, 1,738,736 deaths in 191 countries, US has the highest number of deaths, 328,095 and 18,586,874 confirmed cases.

45th US President seized this time to go to Mar-A-Lago, without signing the bipartisan #CoronaVirus pandemic relief bill to give relief stimulus dollars to millions of unemployed, struggling small businesses and funds for military personnel. Lord, please animate his heart to work beyond himself. He can be more than a zero in positive contributions Presidency!

I am still rooting for him to end it with graciousness and respect for America’s peaceful election results and smooth hand-off of transition and power to our new 46th US President Joe Biden whose cabinet appointments are making me sleep better! Please guide us, 46th US President, to care more beyond ourselves, to train the unemployed to help them transition to green energy jobs and jobs that deliver quality housing, quality services to Americans and abroad.
