E A S T E R

Today at church, my pastor said something that I just haven’t been able to stop thinking about. He made that comment that just one year ago, we weren’t allowed to worship together for Easter due to COVID. How quickly we forget. The whole world was shut down and we couldn’t go to church. 

This last year has been nothing short of a whirlwind. I think many people thought 2021 would get here and life would be normal again. In some ways, things have gotten back to normal but in a lot of ways it’s still very far from it. 

Since COVID started my kids have went through stages of anxiety and worry, much like the rest of us. My sweet first grader has started asking big hard questions like “Why did Jesus have to die so the whole world could live?” And telling me he didn’t think God heard his prayers because he asked for his GranDee to live longer and she didn’t. I have not had good answers for any of these. I’m simply thankful that we are now allowed to be in church so that he is hearing Gods word and that it might start to make sense to him. 

Today was a reminder, once again, to count your blessings because everything can change in an instant!
