It has been 6 years since we were all homebound because of Covid-19. The United States lost 1.1 million lives in the pandemic. For many people in 2026, it might seem like it was all a bad dream unless you lost someone or if you still suffer from Long Covid.

Here is what I put in my Daily Treats for June 8, 2020. Here is what most of us were praying for in 2020. Today we are so divided as a nation that there were TWO Half-Time Shows for the Super Bowl. Please look over and pray what you no doubt prayed for in 2020 and pray and act so that it becomes our way of life today….

1. I pray that the next time a friend grabs me and pulls me in for a hug, I actually take the time to appreciate the gift of their embrace. 

2. I pray that when school resumes and people are dropping kids off, they take the time to thank the staff for the amazing gift that they give to our community. 

3. I pray that the next time I’m sitting in a crowded restaurant I take the time to look around at the smiling faces, loud voices and thank God for the gift of community. 

4. I pray that the next time I’m standing in church listening to the voices of praise and worship that I take a moment to thank God for the gift of congregation. 

5. I pray that the next time I see a person or situation that needs prayer, I hope I pray as passionately and fervently as I have these past few weeks. 

6. I pray that when I am at the grocery store that I take a moment to thank God that He provides us with the necessities of life and the amazing people who work so hard to keep us supplied. 

7. I pray that I never again take for granted the ability to hop in the car and visit a friend, go to the mall, go to a gathering, etc. 

So, truth is, I don’t want things to return to the way they once were. I pray that we take the lessons and challenges of the past few weeks and create a new normal. My goal is to pray more, love harder, and truly appreciate the daily abundance of blessings that were so easily overlooked just a mere few weeks ago. 

Have a blessed day! 

Please look over and pray what you no doubt prayed in 2020 and pray and act so that it becomes our way of life today….

POLITICS COME FROM MEN AND WOMEN. MERCY, COMPASSION AND JUSTICE COME FROM GOD!
