The strength of our communities and our great nation comes from each and every one of us remaining strong together, even when we are keeping our social distance.
Sharing Encouragement
"In these desperate times, just remember...
- kindness is not canceled.
- love is not canceled.
- hope is not canceled.
- faith is not canceled."
-TobyMac SpeakLife
During this difficult time, we are finding encouragement in the many blessings that are becoming apparent through our social distancing and quarantine. Things like:
- American flags being displayed proudly in neighborhoods and at businesses.
- People spending time with their families, enjoying walks in their neighborhoods.
- Neighbors waving hello and sharing a friendly smile from their driveway or porch.
- Slowing down to appreciate the things we've taken for granted or haven't had time for in the past.
- Enjoying family dinners and game/movie nights.
- Appreciation for technology that has brought us the ability to work and meet remotely as well as connect with our friends and family.
- More time for rest, reflection, faith and and trust in God's word.
