Perhaps I am just getting old? I miss the time when there was no television, and we listened to the radio and read books to keep ourselves busy. </p> <p>I really really miss those days! Life was so much simpler than it is today. We could still walk around freely in the evenings, without the danger of being robbed or attacked. We could stay out late and then walk home because we were safe. That is all in the past now and just good memories that I hope that I will always have. </p> <p>Our lives totally changed the minute when televisions came onto the market here in South Africa. I can remember very well that I was just five years old when my grandparents who lived next to us, bought their first television set. Many many moons ago! </p> <p>I do love technology but it tends to make life just more complex. I recently bought some books from my favorite bookstore, and honestly, I have not had time to start reading. I've just been too busy working. I tend to overdo work sometimes because I work from home. I have plenty of time to myself while my husband works, and my kids are grown, so I have enough time to work whenever I want to. </p> <p>I work online, so you could just say that I am always online and all roads lead to work! </p> <p>These last few months, it's as if life just flies by without us even noticing. It feels as if Monday and Friday are much closer to each other than before. Do you realize that we are already in September of 2020! It was like NOTHING happened this year although A LOT happened. Luckily this horror of a year is nearly over and then all these bad memories will just be something that we talk about in our past. </p> <p>This year has been full of surprises, and lots of heartaches! An estimated 42 percent of people in my country (South Africa)are now jobless. That is absolutely terrifying. </p> <p>Our economy is down the drain, and on top of that, all the corruption in this country makes me wonder where we are all going to end up.... it's like we don't have any patriotism towards this country anymore because everything just goes down the drain. </p> <p>The only thing that we can do is trust in God and pray that He will help this country back on its feet. <em>Nothing else will help</em>. </p> <p>With corrupt people in charge, what are the chances that everything will just suddenly improve again? </p> <p>Although I don't read newspapers or watch the news, I can still hear what people say, and it seems like everywhere people are just losing hope. </p> <p>It is time that we move back and get closer to God. God made us and He has a plan for us. We just need to have faith. The only thing that God asks from us is that we must believe in Him. </p> <p>I know that something will soon shift...I feel it in my bones. If we trust God and believe then nothing can go wrong! </p> <p>We are going to see wonders happen in the next year...just you wait and see! </p> <p><br></p> <p> https://i.postimg.cc/hGpMxXNy/phc.jpg</p> <p>https://i.postimg.cc/HsyH9LMx/eh.png</p> <p>https://i.postimg.cc/TwVyY0tm/giantbear-logo.gif</p> </html>
