Surprised

Although Man very well knows

death is common to us all

seems surprised when the time comes 

to witness his mortal fall!*

* No-one of us will fall victim to coronavirus 
without putting up a gallant fight! 

We shall be victorious for God is on our side!

For some odd reason even when we know it is coming it seems to surprise us.

Yes, Italy and Spain are out of control. In Greece we have just 20 deaths and 740 infected but we are two weeks behind Italy however we took measures faster than any other country. Thank you for you lovely comment dearest, Anne-Lise. Hugs xxx and blessings. .

The saddest thing is we understand we are mortal, but know about immortality,and can’t achieve it physically. Our faith must come back to trusting our creator. Thanks for posting this gem. SuZ
