It is too late, and I am too tired, and tomorrow is Ben's first day of preschool (actually away at a church 3 mornings a week!) and Nora's first day of First Grade, Sofie's first day of 5th, and Lily's first day of 7th!
man alive.
We just had a dear family of six with us until today...plus dentists and gymnastics and small group and meet the teacher's for Ben...plus all the things outside the days...I have so much to share.
Tomorrow.
Note for the night : there are a lot of people who feel or who are incredibly isolated right now. People who are sick, people who are struggling, people who live with a lot of fear, people who are being missed somewhere.
You know one. You probably know ten.
Pray through your circles tonight and find a face in your mind that you haven't seen, that you haven't checked on, that you haven't reached out to. Think of someone who has had isolating covid in the last weeks...Think of someone who might not have anyone, who might be eating alone most meals, most days, who might be hurting...Think of someone who has lost someone in the last 2 years, of someone who has been through a divorce or break-up, of someone who has had a surgery or been absent.
Pick ONE, and love them, big, weird, irrational, this week.
Ask the Lord to bring you ONE face, and love them for a minute with the intensity that He does...make a meal, listen, spend time, drop off a care basket, send them a box, ask them to dinner, call, check, remind them that they're NOT ALONE, they are NOT forgotten, that you cherish being with them.
Ask them if you can pray with them, and DO.
challenge for the week
share me your stories.
