Gifts within a crisis

In amongst what is happening now there are so many gifts.  A big one is when the technology works and I can see all my kids faces (I got a bit teary the first time!) I am relishing walks with my family in the afternoons, better dinners and more board games. 

A dear friend always models optimism to me.  Rarely does he fold and become overwhelmed and even then, it is brief.  To be able to approach life in a crisis like this is a great comfort to those around him. And a great reminder of his faith in God and the eternal hope that we have as Catholics.

Don’t get me wrong, I have cried and been frustrated and angry many times in the last few months.  In these uncertain times search out those people in your life, those who remind you to be hopeful.  But mostly remember that God has a plan.  He is our hope and our joy.  God bless you all please keep safe and well.
