I asked people to share some good news experiences. Here is the first round of their responses:
- I am so encouraged and amazed at how adaptable people are. From
churches finding ways to keep their congregations in touch by technology,
schools setting up distance learning, doctors’ offices seeing patients online,
grocery stores finding safer ways to provide food, kids being provided food at
drive up sites at schools — all of this and so much more reminds me of how much
good there is in the world.
- A
neighbor of my sister checks on her throughout the week and places
delicious home cooked meals on her porch to let her know that she is not
alone. She is a widow and has some health concerns.
- Three sweet notes, from three little girls that we adore, came to our
mailbox recently. Our spirits were lifted knowing that each of them was
praying for us.
- My
whole neighborhood has just been great through this. Someone organized a hearts
and teddy bear drive-through for kids. We put things in our windows and then
families walked or drove through and tried to spot them. We did the same for
Easter, putting pictures of eggs in our windows. Another guy, a DJ, plays music
on Friday nights outside; another person has organized food trucks and
restaurant deliveries for the neighborhood. It’s just been wonderful and
loving. We are all on the same Nextdoor app, and there is a lot of
encouragement there. I feel so supported by this group of people.
And
last but not least, this sidewalk chalk talk was sent in . . .
