Mood
Tension was high at certain points today, among various family members. Sometimes it’s really hard to have patience with one another, especially when we are always together. But as always, before long, we were able to apologize and like each other again. It’s been over a month since the quarantine started. Wow. What a month. In a way, it passed slowly…but in another sense, a month went by fast.
Prayer
Abba Father, continue to cover us with Your grace and love. Amen.
