My faith is strong.
I know God‘s grace is with me all the time. It was soon to be tested.
The COVID-19 pandemic was spreading quickly and in March everything was shut down. Living alone and close to 88 many thoughts were going through my mind causing me concern.
But I didn’t need to worry for long.
Friends from church offered to do many things for me including grocery shopping and drug store pickups. Homemade dinners and treats which brought a smile to my face were left at my door. Worship videos, Zoom Bible study, and Facebook live prayers kept me connected. Lots of chats on the phone made the time pass quickly. I started to call homebound parishioners and neighbors. They always ended with a laugh. The weather became warmer, so I had chats and rector and wardens’ meetings in my backyard, using the proper guidelines of course. My minister, Lynne Bleich Weber, kept in touch with me. Her prayers were so meaningful.
I thank God for all that was done for me. It astonishes me.
Am I blessed? Yes.
Am I thankful? Yes!
My heart is filled with gratitude. I truly know the meaning of that word.
