Everyone hanging in there during 2020?
About 5 months into quarantine and social distancing, it seems like we should all be going bonkers by now, right?
Maybe, but maybe not.
Hopefully, it’s a time that’s pushing your “creative side” to come up with something fun and new to do, like a safe “getaway”, appreciating each other, trying new recipes, conducting kid friendly science experiments, memorizing scripture, organizing your rooms and getting rid of things.
Despite the uncertainties in the world, I have seen people being more generous, more helpful to neighbors, schools and people giving a generous amount of food, more praying, people keeping in touch with one another more than ever (via phone calls, social media, drive-by celebrations, video call), more excited about car rides, occasional take out, and of course, getting packages delivered 
.
Here are some historical reminders of people who went through a trying time:
- Anne Frank hid in an attic for 761 days.
- Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights.
- Joseph was sold as a slave by his own brothers as a young man and waited to see them again when he was royalty, in which there was 7 years of famine.
- Noah and his family were on the ark for 360-370 days.
There are so many more significant events that I didn’t mention. If you can think of anymore examples, please feel free to add to the post.
