Since the
outbreak of COVID-19, many people have been saying the phrase, ‘we’re all in this
together.’ The silver lining amidst this pandemic is the outbreak of human
kindness. While we are truly all in this together, we all hurt differently, and
experience joy differently.
It’s not
easy to express joy when you are hurting or a loved one is in pain. However, we
can always find a reason to give thanks. Count your blessings more than your
problems. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. We are living in perilous times.
When my
young adult son was a new driver, I used to remind him to take his driver’s
license whenever he left the house. The other day when he left the house, I reminded
him, “don’t forget to take your gloves and mask.” Perilous times.
Now is the
time to stand firm in faith, build up your spiritual immune system. Chicken
soup,
vitamin c and rest are ways we attempt to boost our immune system when
the common cold is lurking. Your spiritual immune system can be built through,
Lifestyle, Scripture Memory and Meditation, and Service.
An article
on crosswalk.com describes those three immune system builders as this:
Lifestyle –
living a healthy lifestyle physically is beneficial to your health. “Living a
lifestyle of wisdom and acknowledging God in all your ways is foundational for
spiritual health.”
Scripture
Memory and Meditation – incorporate scripture into our hearts and minds, in the
time of trouble we can easily recall the information.
Service – we
are created to serve; we are spiritually healthy when we use our gifts and
talents to serve others.

All the
things listed above contribute to our blessings. Blessings come in all sizes.
Celebrate and give thanks for them all.
