One day we will all have “sunshine, freedom, and a little flower”.  Hans Christian Andersen

The cruelest thing about this disease is not being able to be with your loved one as they suffer through the symptoms and potentially have to die alone … too painful!

This disease has exposed the realities of income inequality.  Basically, many on the higher side of the income scale stay at home, exercise, walk their dogs, video call, and sometimes complain about being bored.

Many on the lower side of the income scale worry about how they will pay the rent, pay for dinner, or pay the utility bill.  Many may worry when they are deemed ‘essential’ and have to go to work unequipped with protection for the disease. At the same time, many have to listen to a myriad of leaders saying PPE and checks are on the way.  Yet and still, the checks and PPE are not where they are needed.

Lord, please have mercy on us all.  We know this will pass, and one day, we will vaccinate everyone in the world.  Whichever position we are in, please help us learn, grow, be empathetic, help, support, and love.

We all handle our anxieties in different ways.  Most of us will work to do whatever is our best at this time.

I pray for us all. I love us all.  I thank the essentials.

Stay at home, wear a mask, wash our hands.  One day we will test everyone and vaccinate everyone.
