One of the first things I learned as a Christian was that I had no idea what real love was.

I grew up in a small country town. We never had a lot of money, but we never went without either. And even though I’ve never felt it, I know that I’ve lived a very privileged life. Only because I’m white.

So as I’m listening to this sermon about attitude, I was reminded that I recently had a pretty bad one. I was dealing with some emotions that seemed to come out of nowhere and I didn’t exactly try to hide it.

It may not look the way you expected or wanted, but you still made it. And that’s something to celebrate. CONGRATULATIONS!

I don’t really care what the reason for this virus is or how it originated. I trust God to take care of me regardless. But that doesn’t mean I’m not struggling in other ways.
