Life right now looks so much different than it did a week ago. Stores have been wiped out of food, toilet paper, and medicines as people stock up in order to be prepared.
As we navigate this unreal time in our country, let's choose to stay calm and not panic. Fear and worry doesn't help us make helpful decisions or allow us to be positive.
I know we are confused and sad about all that has happened so far, but worrying won't change anything. Luke 12:25 says, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?"
Together let's do our best to choose focus over fear. Help others, stay hydrated, wash your hands, get plenty of sleep, and eat well.
