Lessons I’m Learning

Share Now

Every new experience is a way to learn something new. That is certainly true of this safer-at-home experience. Today I am sharing some of the things I am learning and some of the blessings I am appreciating anew.

• People certainly do touch their faces a lot without realizing it.
• My perception of time is ever changing. Twenty seconds feels like a long time when I am washing my hands.

• I really don’t have to do all those things I used to think I had to do.
• From-scratch cooking tastes really good.
• Each morsel of food is a gift from God, something to be savored and enjoyed.

• We are indebted to farmers and warehouse workers and truck drivers and to people working in many occupations.
• The world has many unsung heroes.
• People are precious.
• Face-to-face contact is a dream come true, but online time is a blessing, too.
• Half a paper towel is often enough.
• Sunshine is another of God’s kind gifts.
• Walking and breathing in fresh air are great pleasures worth savoring.
• God is kind to give us Someone to talk to when the world seems beyond our understanding.
• Prayer is the most powerful tool in our “toolbox.”

No pressure! You have so much to do (thank you for doing them!), but if you get a chance, I’d love to hear from you about what you are learning and what blessings you are appreciating anew. Again, no pressure!

Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
