- Covid is serious........
- Wear your mask.............
- SOCIAL DISTANCE.........
We are a spoiled nation.
We are at home with family. We are finding what relationship means. We are talking to each other. Enjoying the simple things of life like taking a walk. We have time to be quiet and still. To listen to music or learn a new instrument or paint a picture or being creative with our hands We are trying new recieps. Our groceries are delivered to our homes or cars. We are paid for not working or even being allowed to work from the comport of our homes. Our children get to sleep and play and still do school at home. We are organizing our clutter. We are gardening and sharing them with the poor and our neighbor and still be safe. We are learning the blessing of having a garden and watching it grow as we feel the dirt in our hands and the sweat on our brow. Most of us can order anything we want or need onine delivered to our door. We have computers, television, phones with enough entertainment to last a life time.
I have thought about the people in Kenya, the homeless. Our power was out for two days. They have no power at all. What must it be to have no running water, to not have a floor beneath your feet, or a place to lay your head or to call your own.
Does this make us more thankful? We can go through a drive threw without a thought. Sit outside a restaurant or have church in the beauty of creation.
We help others with the damage of the storms...Our country has been hit heard no doubt.
SINCE THIS TIME THE VIRUS HAS INCREASED IN MANY AREAS.
As you protect yourself from covid be wise in also protecting others.
May we be the feet and hands of Jesus.
Love God and others as best you can...AND STILL BE SAFE.......
to those who need it. This is true community, the church. I have had so many friends help me. I have thought God sent an army after me. This is beautiful to God.
We can reach out to others in creative ways with the love of Jesus ...being His hands and His feet and His love for others. Make that phone call of encouragement, send that note, say a prayer, learn to be thankful even if you have not been. Deliver that meal or flowers at their door. Text an encouraging text, send a song or prayer for your friend. Take time to read and journal this memorable time for generations to come and the good you see from it and the struggles. How you walked through it. Be creative and use your gifts. See the beauty of God turning us back to family and to our Lord in this time we seem to dread and rightfully so. Make everyday count.
Live in the blessing of today, not in what we think we do not have. We can have a community and connection with God and others that we all long for. It is more beautiful and more rich than we can imagine if we would but look around us and the needs of others.
May the love of God guide our hearts to love Him and others in this time we look at as a hardship. This is my prayer for you and me.
As you guard yourself from the covid be safe and wise....
