Well, even in the midst of the storm, God shows His love! I'm a person who sees the little things, it's the little things people say or do that say "I love you" Lord knows this (after all, He made me that way

) and many times in my life, the Lord will show His love to me with those little things. This was one of them:
Our schools are shut down for 3 weeks, this happened BEFORE our city started shutting down other places.
I was close to being due for my regular grocery shopping for the month, though now it's going to be different for a period of time since people are reacting out of fear and hoarding things. And I'm not just talking about the toilet paper. I find myself having to make small trips to the store every few days as stores get their stuff restocked.
I have been to several stores that close when going out of business, and last weekend that is what our grocery stores looked like

According to the web site, the one frozen thing my husband and boys really like from a local store was sold out.
Well, I was browsing the frozen food department when the Lord told me to look down at the bottom shelf of one of the freezers and right there was a box of the stuff!!!! Box was torn, and both ends were open but the entire 10 count was in place

. I gladly took it and put it in my cart.
Right there in the middle of the chaos I could feel His presence and warmth wash over me as He was whispering to me " I love you GG!"

"Thanks Jesus! I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!"
Got home, walked in the door and my boys (who are both under 10) were so excited. "Thanks mom for getting these!"
Me: "Oh no, not 'thanks mom'... remember we looked online and it said the store was sold out....... better be saying 'Thanks Jesus' because this was the only box and I almost didn't see it, Jesus told me to look down and then I saw it."
Their little faces lit up the room. One smiled "THANK YOU JESUS!" while my other little guy who is a ham but sometimes very bashful ran down to the basement where we couldn't see him (though forgets we
CAN hear.... "THANK YOU JESUS!!!!"
