I trust you guys are taking good care of one another during this time of quarantine and/or social distancing if you are getting out. I know there are those among the seniors who have not ventured out of their homes since March and others of you are having limited exposure, possibly with family, or the grocery store, and church. At this time, we become painfully aware that we were made for connection with God and with one another and are missing these connections.
While we truly have more time to spend with the LORD, are we taking care to connect with others? The verse of the day on the Bible App comes from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 CSB, and reads:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
Who are you comforting? I ask you to please get outside of your usual social circle and take the time to call someone who is homebound. Yes, a card or letter is good but even better is hearing another’s voice and the genuine care shown when you take the time to listen. Who can you call today? Please make this a priority.
