Should we be scared? Panicked?

It’s getting close to a pandemic. The swine flu, that is. I see mixed reports online. One said that WHO says there are only a handful of cases. Other reports say that there are 91 in America. A toddler died Monday night in Texas. This baby was from Mexico. What sort of unsettled me is that that toddler was hospitalized April 13. WAY before the swine flu was even discussed in the news. Which means its been going on a lot longer than we think.

Joe Biden says he wouldn’t travel in planes or on subways or stay in a closed classroom. Ft. Worth schools closed until May 8th. So what’s a Mom to think? What should we do? How should we protect our kids besides the washing of hands and such. Should we hunker down in our houses, knees trembling?

I definitely think we should hit our knees and pray. We should wash our hands a lot. We should not fear. For our God tells us not to be afraid. My mom went to see her oncologist yesterday and told me she has a plaque that says, “Cancer can’t take one day away from you…” God has numbered your days. He has a plan for each one. And frankly, not even the swine flu can disrupt God’s plans. So, don’t fear, my friends. But be smart. And pray.
