April 16 Devotion

I am sick of being home. I love my house but really 24/7 is driving me crazier than I was already.

I know I am driving Marion a little crazy as well.

I miss my grandchildren and being with my church family on Sunday.

I know I am not the only one who feels this way.

There, got that off my chest.

Now for some perspective. Yes, we are home bound, but we are home safe.

We need to be praying for all the health care workers fighting on the front line who after working to save our neighbors are afraid to go home to their family in fear of infecting them.

We need to pray for our essential workers like the postal workers, store clerks, bank tellers, grocery store workers etc.

We need to pray for the thousands of over the road truckers who bring us the food and supplies we need to live but cannot find a rest stop where they can get a hot meal, a shower and maybe a bed to rest their weary heads for a few hours.

Yes, we are stuck at home but for the most part we are safe.

Perspective will always quench the fires of complaining.

This too will pass.
