***Good News***
1.
Praying
I
have always known the importance of prayer. The importance of
praying has become a definite reality in my life. Someone has said
people were alarmed when prayer was taken out of the school. Well
the school is in our homes now. Parents can have prayer with their
children before their schools lessons. Parents can pray with their
children anytime. Covid-19 is much bigger than you or I, but it is
not too big for God. It is important to stay prayed up and to
read the word of God. The word of God is alive and sharper than any
two-edge sword. Hebrews 4:12.
2.
Purpose
I
recall my previous job was working with computers and various
computer systems. I did not like computers. I kept asking God, “Why
me?” Then he showed me, “Why not me.” I came to work one
morning and my coworkers met me at the door. One coworker stated,
“Betty you must not have prayed, our system is down.” My
reply, “God did not say we would not have problems and I did pray.”
Then after we were up and running I observed one coworker saying,
“Thank You Jesus.” I then realized God had me at the right
place. My coworkers had been watching me. “Thank You Jesus,”
is something that I said around them often. So regardless of our
circumstances, even with Covid-19, it is important how we respond to the
circumstance. Remember you do have a purpose. You are fearfully and
wonderfully made. Psalm 139.14 I praise you because I am fearful and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
As
I observed my friend and previous coworker Sandy she loss her husband
and her son to Covid-19. Even though she had this huge loss, she
still was praising God through it all. Now she is one of the
greatest examples for me.
3.
Creativeness
God
gives us creativeness in our spirit. We are daily finding ways to
help and save others during this pandemic. People are making their
own masks during the shortage.
4.
Cooking
I
am ramping up my cooking skills and cooking more than I have in a
long time. Cooking real meals.
5.
Social Media and Communication
There
have been those that have said they do not like social media and will
not be on it. I thank God for social media in that we are still
able to communicate with loved ones and others that are living far
away. We are still able to connect with others which is so
important. We can text and even Facetime. Even though church
buildings are on shutdown, because the people are the church, they
are able to communicate, fellowship, and connect with each other.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I
with them. We can prayer any time. 24/7. God has a hot-line that
is always opened.
6.
House Cleaning
I
am definitely getting a lot more house cleaning done.
7.
Keeping Busy
Even
though we are on shutdown, I learned the importance of having a
routine and keeping busy. I have learned not to sit around all day
watching television or even watching about the Covid-19. I have
learned to take a break form all of that.
8.
Exercise
Even
though I am not exercising in the mall I can exercise in the house or
in my backyard.
9.
Gratitude
I
have learned that during this trying time this is a good time to show
and express gratitude. It could be worse.
10.
Camaraderie
I
have observed the camaraderie of people. We are not alone and are
pulling together to help our neighbors. We are uplifting and
edifying others. This is so important. Even though there are those that are
defiant and openly disobedient others continue to help others. You may leave God, but God never leaves you. Hebrew 13:5 For he hath said, I will never
leave you nor forsake you.
11.
Believe*Faith*Hope
No
I do not know when this Pandemic will end, but I do believe that
this Pandemic shall pass.
12.
Respect
I
know that this Covid-19 has no respect of age, race, religion, or
gender. It is just ugly.
13.
History
I
have learned that we can take a lesson from past history. Although
we have not stopped the spread of Covid-19 yet nor found a sure cure yet, in
this pandemic and past pandemics there has been a strong emphasis on
distancing ourselves from each other. Distancing was also used in
the past pandemics and it does work. This virus needs a host; a
body to live and spread. So that is why it is so important to stay
home and stay safe.
Remember
this too shall pass. We are not alone.
