WORDS OF WISDOM

My wife Myrna and I are 70. Our family are doing their part in caring for us by following all the rules of social and physical distancing. We as parents have children and grandchildren working with the public in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on the frontlines in the nursing, restaurant, grocery and teaching professions. We are fortunate to be in our own home and following all the necessary guidelines set forth for our well-being and are very proud

seeing how our village has come together to help control the situation. It’s time for faith, which can be a driving force in these uncertain times. God has not abandoned us. We see Him at work all around us: spring beauty with the blossoming of flowers, the greening of the grass, neighbours helping neighbours and strangers helping strangers. As the Earth heals from the cold of winter, we too require healing by leaning on each other. Our fathers and grandfathers fought in wars and it’s little to ask for fellow Canadians to respect and follow all guidelines put forth by our government and health leaders. We pray that on the other side of this pandemic, humanity must be better.
