The Resilience of Youth
When my oldest daughter was five years old, we took a plane ride to California. The ride was V E R Y turbulent, and it was all I could do to keep calm and not run up and down the aisle screaming! To her, we were on a roller-coaster and it was fun!
Here we are many years later, dealing with a pandemic, the coronavirus, vaccines, work-from-home, remote learning, etc.
I find it hard to stay calm and positive.
But to our children: toddlers, a young child, your middle-school aged child; this is another moment in their life. A new adventure!
How you see the world, is how they see it.

Who I Am Matters To Me
In my devotional time this morning, I was reading about Job and how God saw him as blameless and faithful, yet allowed Satan to ravage his life by causing mayhem.
What stuck out most to me was not that God would offer Job up as a sacrifice, but the comments that Job’s friends made about his situation. The assumptions they made…
The biggest mistake that Job’s friends and wife made was that they assumed he did something wrong to have all hell break loose in his pretty perfect life.
How many of us feel the same way? Before this pandemic, things were pretty amazing for me… Then the pandemic started…
Periodically through this quarantine, friends and family members have lost their jobs, their businesses or friends and family have died. Some of those friends have had multiple deaths occur and others have lost their inspiration and fallen into deep depression. Some have lost children to suicide.
So today I thought about who I am:
• As a wife
• As a mother
• As a family member
• As a friend
• As a business owner
I’ve checked myself to see how I am showing up – to myself and others. Have I decided like Job’s friends that those who are losing their livelihood or their lives, did something wrong? Or am I offering the best support I can by being a good listener without judging? 🤔
