God put those words in my heart this morning. They seem to be appropriate for this
time. Like the rest of the country, I am
limiting my contact with other people and taking all the recommended
precautions. I guess Barb and I fall
into the “high risk” group. We are both over
seventy and both have “underlying physical conditions.” While my overall health is good, I am a
diabetic. So I am hunkered down at
home. That means doing a lot of reading
and working on latest book. Who knows, if
this goes on for a couple of weeks I might even get the manuscript done ahead
of my schedule.
I still am amazed at how different my life is from that a
week ago. My hospital visits are on
hold, and we will go to church online tomorrow, instead of gathering with a
couple hundred of our closest friends.
With no sports on TV I am enjoying many of my old CD’s I had stashed away
in the closet. I have stopped listening to the news because it is pretty much the “same song, next
verse.” When I need an update, I can
find it online and focus on what I need to know, not more doom and gloom. I am wondering if God just decided we all
needed an extended “time out.”
Paul’s words above help me keep things in
perspective. He has things under
control. If he has already defeated sin,
death and the devil, why should I be afraid of some “stinking virus?” I just need to continue to love those around
me from a distance and use good judgment. I sense Jesus wants me to draw close and
cuddle with Him. I pray you might do the
same.
