Life gets crazy sometimes. You get all caught up in the day to day- working long hours, running the kids to and from sports, birthday parties- so many other unplanned interruptions. This time at home has opened my eyes big time. To slow down, take a breath and just be. Wake up a little earlier and have some you time, drink a nice cup of coffee in silence or on the patio, read a few scriptures or chapters in a book. Maybe you’re a night owl- put the kids to bed earlier (or just a decent time), pour a glass of wine for you and your partner and have some quality time with just each other. It may not be as easy for some during this quarantine. Some are working double/triple time, not working at all and not knowing how ends are going to meet. Being stuck inside can also do some harm to those who overthink and have fear and perhaps anxiety of the unknown. I wanted to take a moment and just share a few of my favorite Bible verses to encourage, heal and nourish you in all seasons of life.
