Not The Same, But Not Bad

Sure, some things have changed during shelter in place, but resilience has come to the forefront.

I miss seeing my kids and grandkids, but we still keep in touch via video conferencing, emails, and social media. Not the same but good enough for now.

I miss baseball, but I can still watch classic games on YouTube. Not quite as good, but not bad.

I miss going to the store when I want and without protective gear, but I can still go and I have everything I need.

I still walk several miles a day, but now there is much less traffic. Not the same, but even better and safer.

I miss not being able to go where I want when I want, but I do get out. Not the same but acceptable.

I miss going to church and being with my church family, but we do enjoy church online.

Things have changed temporarily, some for good and some not so good. We have all found ways to get around the inconveniences and enjoy things in a diiferent way. For that I am grateful.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV
