For Such a Time as This

COVID-19 has caused such a panic that folks are doing some crazy things these days.

I’ve never seen store shelves bare of supplies like toilet paper, paper towels and canned food. I hope I never do again.

I understand why some people stocked up but not why so many overstocked up. I hope they share what they have with those who couldn’t get to the stores in time.

So now we have folks stuck in their homes for who knows how long. I hope they take advantage of this time to think.

Think about priorities.

Think about those they truly love.

Think about those they don’t even know but who need help.

Think about their eternal destiny.

God has a way of getting people’s attention when they finally sit still.

With all of the restrictions put in place these days I’ve come to realize that I’ve personally been in training for this my entire life.

I have lived alone since August 9, 2012. Therefore I haven’t been able to contaminate anyone else with any diseases I’ve encountered by living in close proximity to anybody.

Being an introvert I tend to not touch anyone when I’m out and about if I can at all avoid it. I even have to force myself to make eye contact most times.

Rarely do I eat at restaurants so that aspect has been avoided for merely economic reasons.

My occupation as a truck driver puts me in a position to help others while many folks are taking care of their families. I’m still busy delivering mattresses but that could come to a stop at any time for any number of reasons.

I think I should be able to sign back up with the temp agency I was driving for so I can deliver necessary things for other companies until things return to normal.

I feel like Esther in the Old Testament. I have been born for such a time as this.

Now all I have to do is dig out that super hero cape. I’m sure I still have it in storage somewhere.

I’ll see you later. Wade
