Being awake, speaking the truth, and doing the right thing takes courage. It is not the easy path through life. It is the hardest path. You will be persecuted, insulted, deplatformed, disowned, fired, and hated by the wicked and those still sleeping and brainwashed. The evil spiritual forces of this world will come against you. This is all worth keeping your soul intact - no matter how hard it gets. Thanks to all of you who take a stand for and defend the good, the beautiful, and the true. You were chosen out of a fallen world and God woke you up for a reason.
"If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." - Jesus Christ
My MIL is of the world and is suffering because of it.
She's taken 3 mRNA shots so far and is very upset I refused to take the jab.
She tried putting me on a guilt trip as if I gave a shit about her opinion in the first place.
My employer began pushing the vaccine when the mandates for places with over 100 employees looked like it might be a thing. I filed for a religious exemption, which was accepted.
She asked my wife when I was going to get vaccinated about 2 weeks after my exemption was approved. She lost her shit when she found out I got a religious exemption.
"That's a bunch of bullshit. He doesn't even go to church." Apparently, because I don't go to a physical building filled with mask Nazis claiming to be Christians, I can't have faith or a belief system.
She straight up lied to my wife and said I wasn't invited to Thanksgiving at her sister's (my wife's aunt) house because I wasn't vaccinated. Then she got sick and couldn't go herself.
Her aunt invited us over for Christmas dinner and that's when we found out about the lie. She said she doesn't care about my vaccination status and we had been invited over for Thanksgiving as well. In fact, her grandson who is also unvaccinated was going to be there, too.
MIL had another melt down after my wife told her we were invited to Christmas dinner.
My sister-in-law tried setting something up for Easter and MIL got sick again. Her immune system is shot and she is constantly getting sick in spite of rarely leaving the house.
She watched CNN 24/7 until recently. I think the news about Joe Biden's failures is too much for her to bear, so she's been watching the Hallmark Channel instead.
What I've suffered is minor compared to many, and I praise God for that.
Hey, thanks for sharing. All of our suffering is minor compared to Christ's. I'm willing to bet, despite how it may feel, your MIL's suffering is great as well.
You've got your head on straight though. Keep doing the Good Work, brother. 🙏✌️
