Here are a variety of good reads I’ve come across lately:
“Little House on the Prairie” Paper Dolls. So cute!, and generous of the creator. (I’m sorry, they were free when I first saw them, but aren’t any longer.)
Don’t Take the Fear Bait—Much to Lose, But More to Gain.
Suicide Is Not the Solution. From one who was tempted.
What Will the Virus Teach Us? “God has a purpose in everything that He does. Being the good Father that He is, He designs our lives with all kinds of opportunities to grow and change and become more like Him.”
God Hasn’t Distanced Himself From Us. “We often equate good with how comfortable we are or how safe we feel. God desires us and loves us too much to leave us in our current condition, so He calls us to walk in obedience through hard places, so we might resemble Christ more.”
A Prolonged Sabbath in a Culture of Productivity, HT to Challies. “Can I allow myself and my children to give up being productive or educated or entertained for even a small amount of time? Can I allow us to be bored? To be unessential? To rest?”
Quarantine: Nothing New Under the Sun. “Let’s seek to be a blessing, whether in our homes or online. Let’s be known for our reasonableness, not our agitation.”
How Talia’s Disabled Daughter Taught Her About the Love of God, HT to Challies.
With so many meeting “virtually” these days, I found this funny: a conference call as if it were a real life meeting. The ones I have participated in have gone much more smoothly than this, but my husband and sons have experienced many of these things.
Happy Saturday!
Thank you for the good recommendations. One of my biggest fears is running out of things to read. Every Saturday night, we have started having a zoom “meeting” with 4 other couples we have known for over 40 years. We are all in our 60s. It would look hilarious to an outsider looking in. Most of us are technologically challenged! 🙂 Thanks for the link.
