Lenten Reflections #22
Now more than ever. We’re home. Everything we say, do and react to is being watched. By our kids.
We’re not only working from home, but now we are also homeschooling, prepping meals, and parsing out necessities, as to not run out of what we need.
We’re calling family, checking in on friends, discovering Zoom.
We’re trying REALLY hard not to go to the grocery store, yet dash in, hold our breath (maybe just me) and grab a gallon of milk.
We’re anxious, scared, and unsure.
As we set up our offices on kitchen counters and stumble over saxophones in our closet which is now a makeshift practice studio, we can still be positive, we can still be hopeful.
More importantly, we can be honest and patient and vigilant. Because our kids are watching, and learning from us.
Homeschooling is not just about knowing the correct password to log into a website loaded with lessons and videos. Oh no. It’s game on. They are learning from us. Our kids are watching and they are looking for hope and joy and normalcy.
The blessing is we are doing this together. Building memories and waiting calmly until it is TRULY safe to move forward.
Until then, stay home, stay safe, and stay strong.
