Sleeping next to me is my little Sabine. She snuck in bed with me a few moments ago. A lot is going on as I type this. The seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic has a lot of people and nations on edge and it's hard for people to retain focus on the daily, mundane things, understandably. Many people are fearful to travel and there is pending economic duress in the air.
So what will you do? How will you act? How will you respond? I'm convicted by the reality that I need to slow down and be more patient and hopeful rather than give in to angst and the stress I am hearing in others' voices.
Be prepared yes, but please enjoy the good all around us- the joy of new lives coming together in matrimony, the simplicity and beauty of spring in bloom. A little one snoring beside you. These are the good days, the small, quiet things and it is what our memories should guard in our hearts.
Sweet dreams- A
