We have a problem. We aren't playing a game. This is not a drill. People are getting sick around us. Maybe we don't know them, but someone does. It's one of those situations where you think it's not going to happen to you. You think it won't be anyone you know, until it is. Then what? We are in a position to have an impact, an influence, a moment where we can change the course of the future. We get to determine how this next season unfolds, how the next chapter is written, how our kids, their kids will look back and say we did our part. I know people keep saying this is easy because all we have to do is sit on the couch and watch Netflix. Let's put it on the table. Let's be honest. It's not easy. We all miss interactions. We miss seeing our people. We miss going out, we miss participating, we miss touch. We miss doing. When this is done I believe our priorities will be different. I believe how we spend our time will be different. I think our perception of what living is will be different. Yet it's ok to miss things. It's ok to feel. It's ok not to be perfect at home schooling. It's ok not to repaint your whole house. It's ok to cry. It's ok to be scared. It's ok to hurt... and it's ok to be happy too. It's ok to enjoy the time away from the schedule. It's ok to sleep in. It's ok to do nothing. All of it. All of it is ok. What isn't ok? Not paying attention to the warnings. Not staying home when you can because you are suppose to. Not adhering to the guidelines. Not being aware that you can be where one strain of this spread stops. We matter. This is not a game. This is not a drill. Time to be a part of the solution.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you realize you can do your part and that your part is just as important as everyone's.
Have a blessed and healthy week.
