Daily BITUB- “Gpa”

I talked to my Gpa this weekend. He was telling me about how things were going there. Told me about going to the store early and there was already a line and he was having none of it. Made me laugh and smile. He is 94 and listening to him tell me to take care of myself, that if I needed anything to call him, that he can't wait to see us and have one big party to celebrate everything reminded me of why we must be good to one another. Just care about each other. Why we must be kind, aware, and count our blessings. Why we must help everyone we can when we can. Why when we have more we give to those who don't. He, as he always has, just wants us all to be ok. He, like many people out there, remind us why we must be patient, be vigilant, be content. He needs things I'm sure, but it will always be others first. I miss him. I miss my family. I miss our friends, but we are comforted by God and His Grace. I know this is our time to prove we can and will weather the storm, and like Gpa be the light in the dark and be there when someone needs us. A great reminder that we get to show that we really do understand that "in everything, (we) do to others what (we) would have them do to (us)."- Matthew 7:12

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you find a moment to give, to appreciate, to count your blessings... There are many.

Have a blessed and healthy day.

Daily BITUB- “Do Your Part”

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.
