Question of the Day (Day 22)

For the kids (this question came from their online Bible lesson on Sunday): What is one way that you can think of others before yourself?

For the parents: What is one thing that you can do for yourself during this quarantine?

Mood

Today (Day 23) was the first day that I felt like our days are becoming a bit repetitive. The weather was beautiful, but it was pretty quiet in the cul-de-sac (not many people were out). Honestly, it felt a little boring and lonely. On the flip side, I guess it’s good that it look 23 days to start feeling this way. I’m also a bit jealous of other people who say they are getting so many things/projects done that they’ve always wanted to get to. My days are filled with family affairs (everything that comes with 6 people always being in this house) and homeschooling.

Prayer

Abba Father, help us to SMILE. BREATHE. GO SLOWLY. (quote by Thich Nhat Hanh, mentioned in video by Ian Morgan Cron). Amen.
