In August 2020 in the midst of the Covid pandemic isolation my husband and I moved from Southern Tennessee to Southern Idaho. It was not an easy move in that even though we had prayed and had peace about it there was still an ache at least in my heart. My mother heart ached as we moved further away from our oldest son Matt who could just get on I65 South from Louisville and get off at our exit on the Alabama Tennessee state line in 6 hours. On the other hand we would be gaining the ability to see our one granddaughter more than once a year we hoped.
Anyway loneliness is an epidemic for many like shut ins and those who have lost mobility or the ability to drive or walk. I make friends pretty easy for as some say “you never met a stranger” but for others it can be painful and heart wrenching.
Do you know of anyone you could bring cheer to with a phone call, card, or visit? Use that mouth God gave you to smile at people because smiles can bring great joy to many. Remember you are never truly alone as God is with you.
PRAYER: Lord I thank you for my car, shoes, a phone, and friends. Help me bring joy to another. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
