Changing plans

Disappointment

Isolation

Exhausted health care workers and teachers

Long lines –

Not for the newest gadget or toy

But for news of illness or risk to others.

Anxiety fills the streets threatening to

consume,

distract,

eliminate hope.

Can our weary world still find reason to rejoice?

Can we hear the song of the angels

Singing through the relentless sirens of fear

Beckoning us to see the miracle of God with us?

Divine love and grace guide us through each step.

Showing up in the smile of a neighbor

A card from someone far away

Sending a meal to a sick friend

Connecting in community

Recognizing the worthiness of who you are –

A favored child of God.
