Learning in the Time of "The Virus"









What am I learning at this time of “The Virus?”  Well, I have learned that routine is easily upended.  My routine and personal desires are not sacred.  Life contains much outside my little box.  I can choose to be a blessing or be a big pain.  Being a big pain does attract attention, but maybe not the attention I like.  Trying to get my own way usually ends in misery for me. 


I am finding my world more and more restricted. As the virus continues its course, activities are gradually waning.  I see my parents, and my parents, and my parents and my parents.  I love them, and they are usually pleasant on the eyes, but even I need variety.  We are working hard at spending quality time, but they still have many responsibilities, and so I am learning to be mature. I should have learned this long ago, but I did not like the learning. It is hard and unpleasant at times.  Being immature is easier.

This is a good time to work on growing.  I need to take the challenge and rise higher.  I can hone new skills and add others. I can pray and meditate on Jesus.    Time for me to make good choices, and increase my faith.  Help me be growing, not stagnating!
