This is the strangest post I’ve ever written. The past three weeks have been a time of anxiety and fear for people across the globe. Including me. I have a suppressed immune system for medication I take and have recently (2 years) had cancer. I’m 55, so not in the elderly group, but that’s about all I have going for me.
Well, that and tons of hand sanitizer. Oh and an active prayer life. Those two will hopefully save my sanity.
The Coronavirus ranks with school shootings and tsunami’s. There is very little we can do after the fact, but a lot we can and must do now.
The obvious; wash your hands, sneeze into your elbow, keep six feet away from people, don’t shake hands or hug.
But what can you do on a larger scale? Volunteer with the local Red Cross, volunteer to deliver groceries for the grocery store (they are overwhelmed with deliveries right now). Find out how to safely check in on your neighbors. Don’t keep the momentum going on buying toilet paper, hand sanitizers, milk or food. Buy what you normally need. Share your overstock with the local food-banks.
And mostly, be kind. Be the (helping) hands, and eyes that see (need) of Jesus.
