Thank you, Beth. I look forward to trying out Uber Conferencing with you and the Red Oak ladies this weekend. It will be great to see all of you!

Lovely read that speaks to my heart and soul. Your sentiments resonate with what I think all of us are feeling as well. This has been compared with living in a time of war and our battle is against an invisible monster. The difference is we still have roofs over our heads, electricity, running water and just about everything we need to make it through (sparing a few rolls of toilet paper of course).

The one thing we do need and have some issue with keeping is the human contact and socialization. But, with our current technology-like has never been experienced with any other war-we can still achieve some socialization and maintain contacts with those we love and enjoy being with. We know we certainly have the time (outside of our work from home shifts) to make an appointment to check in on each other. Not to mention time to take up a craft or to learn or brush up on current handicrafts like our knitting, crocheting or weaving.

Being grateful for what we have and not fretting over what we don’t have is what will keep our spirits uplifted as well as those technology supported visits with each other. God has plans to prosper us not to harm us. If we continue to follow our leader’s instructions to protect us and follow God’s words to sustain us, we will make it through this together and be stronger for it!!

Thank you for your inspiring words!! Be safe and stay healthy!
Blessings,
Beth
