April 9 Devotion


Lately I have been thinking about what we take for granted.

I went to my grandson’s house yesterday to bring them some baseball cards.

I couldn’t go in but got to see them through the window. Not the same.

Marion went by a little while later and saw the kids through the storm door and placed her hand on the glass on one side while the grandkids placed their hands on the other. Not the same.

Karen and Greg have worked very hard to make sure we have Sunday services and Greg has even worked before service to make sure everyone is logged on. Services are nice but not the same.

It seems I took a lot of those things for granted. I can’t hug my grandkids like I did before and loved every minute.

I can’t greet each of you at the door or have coffee in the back or see each of you greet one another before the sermon. All things I never really gave a second thought about until now. Its just not the same.

When this is over and I pray it will be sooner rather than later, we will meet and have a fellowship dinner and appreciate the little things we may have taken for granted.

While I do not think God caused this virus, perhaps He is using it to help us reflect and appreciate things far more than we did before.

This too will pass.
