i've been thinking for a good day about what to post next. we are almost through our two week, post-vacation mandatory quarantine, yet we know not much will change after the fourteen days. we will be able to go out for essentials like groceries and prescriptions, but we will continue to have physical distancing, isolation, and stay at home basically, other than blissful strolls in our yard or down our street. we are all living, on a global scale, in real time, the changes a pandemic must bring....it feels strange and inconvenient....nothing, however, to the level of pain that so many are living with as a result of COVID-19...there has been loss and grief experienced this week by dear neighbours, friends and acquaintances in our community. it is sooooo very sad. yet it has also not been without hope. hope brimming over amidst the pain and suffering...inspiring evidence of the difference Christ makes. over and over again. it can't be denied. and i can't be silent about it. how would i ever navigate these days without it? how would they, the ones most deeply affected?? Hope floats on this rapid river of uncertainty and fear and unknown. so grateful for that...
so for this week i think Layla's chalkboard creation will stand alone. it seems most fitting for all that is unfolding around us. may it encourage you...
❤
