COVID-19 Journaling Day 2

Today we had a little bit of normalcy.  Thank goodness our favorite appliance store is still open and delivering because our dishwasher's "Start" button stopped working very well a couple weeks ago.  We shopped for a replacement dishwasher online and placed our order over the phone two days ago (not normal for us).  This morning our new, fully functional dishwasher arrived and was installed.  It was a nice little bit of normal life for a few moments.


Also, Ryann spent part of the day today doing a little room-decorating that I thought turned out pretty cute!
















The verse of the day today was: "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind." - Ecclesiastes 12:13

Sheri's response:
Bible verses like these are not super popular in our culture today.  It seems too bossy and heavy handed and prescriptive.  But what I see when I read this is a reminder that to "fear" God is to respect Him with utmost reverence and admiration and awe.  Not to fear Him like we'd fear a mean person.

God provided us with His commandments so that we could live our best lives.  If we would fulfill our duties and follow them, we really would be better off.  We all fail because we live in a fallen world and none of us is perfect but we should all be trying.  Just like all of us should be making an enormous effort to be socially distancing ourselves so that this coronavirus does not spread quickly and the healthcare system has time to help those who need it.  Many people feel like it's an unnecessary ask and an imposition on their personal rights to live their lives how they want to but the people who know better than we do wouldn't ask us to live this way temporarily if they didn't think it was in our best interests in the long run.

Question of the Day: What color is a mirror?
Sheri's response:
If I was forced to pick one actual color to describe a mirror as being, I would say silver-y; however, I think a mirror is truly whatever color it is currently reflecting.  And if you think about it, that is pretty beautiful.  You can point a small mirror towards a beautiful patch of daisies and your mirror is suddenly yellow and white and green and maybe a little brown and black.  Or look in the mirror and it's you-colored ;)

Adam's response:
After all is over trust in God and he will have a greater relationship now.

I think to color of a mirror is a very see through silver that perfectly reflects you.

Stu's response:
A mirror's color is silver.
