I miss the life we had
before everything went mad
those ordinary days
lived in mundane ways
Familiar routines
smiling faces
handshakes and hugs
in welcoming places
How do you grieve
the loss of everything?
It was winter when it all began
springtime, now summer covers the land
With no end in sight
I pray with all my might:
“Lord, teach us what we need to see
and deliver us soon from covid-19!”

Love it, and agree with you 100%. Let’s pray this thing out of existence and prove all the negative prognostications wrong. There’s one major problem with them–they do not consider the Lord in the equation. We do have the upper hand when we walk in obedience to Him. God bless.

Yes, wouldn’t we love to have what we once considered mundane! Just the ordinary pleasant lives we had learned to take for granted with hardly a “thank you.” We are learning.

Reblogged this on oldblessedwordpresscom and commented:
This, from one of my fellow bloggers, reminds me of how much we can miss our routines from the pre-coronavirus times. No matter how exciting or uneventful our lives might have been, the virus has disrupted it. The future seems even more unknown.
