Words of Encouragement during these times
During this time, I am caring for my dad, who is at risk so is not allowed to see anyone else. This means every time I leave his home to get groceries or for medical reasons, I must be very careful, distancing from other people, being careful what I touch, and washing up when I return to his home. No, this is not normal, but this is life at this time.
So I decided to take advantage of my time with Dad, my Quarantine Buddy, and cherish every moment we have together. He has cancer and is in pain much of the time, but just being there with him, and not leaving him alone in his home is an encouragement to him and to me. We share memories, we laugh, we watch Westerns and Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy together. I try my best to get him to eat more (his doctor told him to eat as much as he wants!) and we discuss things besides this awful virus that is ravaging our world. We tell each other "I love you" often, and, most importantly, we pray together.
Enjoy your loved ones. Recall fond memories and make new ones. Let this be a time for prayer and family strength. Now would be a good time to start studying your Bible.
God Bless You,
Dana Pride
