My dearest Prayer Warriors,
Who knew these pandemic restrictions would last until now? I certainly
didn’t.
But here I am, just as you are. With the Good News and Not-so-good
News. The good news is that we are getting better at ZOOM and the not-
so-good news is that we can’t come to our lovely Church. The good news
is that we are getting more involved in communication skills and the not-
so-good news is that we still have to absorb in order to reach all of you in
meaningful ways.
Here, I give a standing ovation to all of you for not freaking out about the
COVID-19! I heard it in news and from my friends that this horror made a
few very self-centered and isolationist and made them to forget their
neighbors. It brought out our ugliest sides and the real you. But I am
proud of you, because none of you responded in those ways.
I’m so blessed to see our “MEMBERS IN MEDICAL & OTHER
ESSENTIAL FIELD” serving the community. I’m honored to see our
members giving a helping hand to our elderly sector. I’m grateful to those
who have encouraged others by your phone calls and constant supports.
I’m also indebted to those who were tuned to the “Stay at home” chant to
keep the virus at bay.
You know it for sure, but this is just to wake ME up. (I) have one life to
live and it is to be spent in godly views and deeds (you can put your name
in those brackets, if you like). As we turn to our PCP to treat us, we should
understand that we have another guiding light from another world who
loves us beyond our physical security and comfort. This divine physician
laid down his own life (just like our Medical friends who lost their life,
during their Service to the community) so that we could live without fear
and anxiety. It is He who went willingly into the pangs of death, came out
triumphantly and now gives us the hope of resurrection.
We will get through this together with God from whom all blessings flow.
The joyful days are coming! Love you all.
May blessings overflow!
