I am sitting here praying. Asking for words to encourage you in your financial and spiritual journeys in this time of craziness: living experiences we have not lived, seeing things we have not wanted to see, and hearing words we can’t believe we are hearing.
Frankly, I am so thankful that we are heading into warmer weather. It is a gift of God’s grace to keep our hearts filled with the hope of life.
Coming out of a year of grief and loss, you start to think that you can’t take much more bad news or heartache. Then, the global pandemic hits and you realize that circumstances don’t discriminate. Neither does disease.
Stay calm, and do the next right thing. Last week I told you about my friend in Bergamo, Italy who took in her friend who was panicked, sick and had children to care for. From her quarantine, she shared with us that staying calm is essential in these days of uncertainty.
She is in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, and is a few days further down this crisis path than we are. The numbers coming out of Italy are alarming. She has been socially distancing for weeks, but now, despite concerns for her own health, she is reaching out to a friend in need.
