My brother wouldn't allow me to visit our mother because he said, "you Christians and conservatives are putting everyone in danger." My cousin scolded me and said I needed to be jabbed for the good of others. My brother is totally estranged from me (but not just because of the jab issue) and I haven't talked to my cousin in many months.

Yes, we need to tell people how to be prepared for eternity. I hope to be able to have that conversation with my son later this month when we travel to Texas (if we can still travel then). He doesn't like to talk about it, but he's going to have to at least listen.
Yes, I’m completely estranged from my sister. It did start before Covid but it’s definitely solidified since then as she does nothing but complain about health issues to my mom. It’s truly devastating. Thank God we have the Covid and coffee friends lol.
That’s terrible, Anne. How does your mother feel about that? I must say, your brother sounds both arrogant and ignorant. However, I apologize for insulting someone in your family.
My brother is an angry atheist. He and my mother had an "interesting" relationship. He was her favorite and he got probably $75,000 from her before her death (in July 2020). He was in charge of funeral arrangements (long story) and he basically had her body delivered to the cemetery and put in the ground. I was not there, but I bought a beautiful fresh flower arrangement and put it on her grave the next day. There were no other flowers. I also wrote a very nice obituary which honored her. She was a difficult person, but I did my best to take care of her. Regarding my brother, I hold onto Romans 12:18, "If possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men."
“As far as it depends on you” is the key phrase in this verse. I used to think it meant that as a Christian I had to take responsibility for every difficult relationship. You can only do so much & leave the rest to God. Your gestures at your mother’s death were lovely.
Mind numbingly stupid. Vaccines have Always been touted to protect the jabbed, Not the population at large, and yet these Karen and Ken lemmings didn't once pick up on how they flipped the script 180 degrees on the turn of a dime.

"you Christians . . ."
This is merely the overture.
We were told these things would happen. I find this comforting!
Edit: Not comforting in that the end, for many, will not be what they expect. We have work to do!

Where in FL? We have a group that meet for lunch sometimes off here. Might let you in if you show your uncredentials.
North central florida. More cows than people. :). Yes I’d love to if it’s close.
We have had lunch in Lakeland before...
