In a year when we were required to stay at home, school at home, and work at home because of a global pandemic, it also meant job loss and business closings for many. Through this time, a growing awareness and appreciation of the daily blessings of food, housing, employment, and safety - things that have been impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic and civic unrest - will hopefully develop as we live each day. Seeing needs can be overwhelming. It is also good to remember that each person is designed ( and capable) to do something each day that will build up, restore, move forward, exercise faith, serve, and make a difference - as God directs.
