"Things to return to normal"
"Things to go back to how they were"
One friend of mine said "she is missing out on her precious days" referring to the lack of social interaction due to the social distancing and isolation being required.
My response was "we were given today as a gift"
📖 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 (NKJV)
And because we are here ...we woke this morning..God has purpose in it.
So isn't that precious?
I also thought....those days, before all this, may have been "ordinary" days.... and they are in the past.
THESE days are precious! Precious in the fact that we have had to lean on Him, learn how to continue to show the world who He is even in the middle of the upheaval.
📖 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46:1-3
Every day we are given has something in it for us to see, learn, we have another day to worship Him, to share His love with others. Even in the struggle.

📖 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46:10
In being given this pecious day, we are shown we are precious to Him.
📖 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life Isaiah 43:4
📖 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 1 Peter 3:4
📖 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 1 Peter 3:4
Given another day to worship Him, point others to Him, and IF we haven't...another day to commit ourselves to Him, to surrender to Him.
📖 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
So no matter what is swirling around us, don't wish for "ordinary" days...thank God for the precious day He has given His precious child.❤
