My days are pretty mellow and very similar. Since I retired from my full-time job I am even more a creature of habit. I still do safety training because I love meeting people and encouraging people to be safe as they work and live. So my day is a little different when I am going somewhere to do safety training but on just a regular day things are pretty laid-back around our house. I wake up, I spend some time soaking in the hot tub where I can meditate and read the word of God. Next up is breakfast. My husband and I do enjoy eating breakfast together and this has not changed during this time of self-imposed confinement. Typically after breakfast my husband takes a morning nap and I try to spend some time keeping up-to-date on OSHA recommendations. I really should mention Facebook because I’m a bit of an addict to Facebook. Part of me thinks that is not a good thing and another part of me enjoys seeing what’s happening with old friends and family who live away from me. TV shows also help pass time. We prefer some of the old shows we grew up watching. We find they have less violence, less sexual undertones, but have much more humor. During the evening hours we try to visit with different family members. I believe it’s really mentally unhealthy to be isolated.
You are probably asking yourself where is the God sighting in this post. Well, The God sighting for this post is you. You were created in the image of God. You are beautiful and God intended you to live a wonderful, productive, happy, fulfilled life. God teaches us to fear not, but turn to Him for everything. As we live through this crisis in the world of 2020, our awakening should be to turn away from false Gods and Idols; turning instead to the one true God who sent his son to die on the cross for our sins so that we could except eternal life. We only need one thing which is God. All the rest of life is a gift from God. Look around you at all the gifts you have been given. Do you consider your family, your job, your friends and your church family to be gifts? When you get right with God and turn to Him for everything, your eyes become open to see blessings that surround you.
God Sighting: God is using this time of difficulty in the world. God has repurposed this time where evil has attempted to destroy people financially; turning it into an opportunity to refresh or to begin a relationship with God.
God Sighting: I see goodness as our planet is becoming healthier due to less emissions and destruction by people chasing the almighty dollar.
God Sighting: Families are able to to spend quality time together. Much hustle and bustle of daily life has been eliminated, so parents are able to help their children learn school lessons, play with them during “recess”, and teach them life skills such as cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and how to pray.
I could go on and on, but I will end this post now, asking you to look around your life for God Sightings then renew your relationship with God as you give thanks. May God bless you abundantly.
