Take Heart

I felt hopeless when COVID hit. Businesses shut down, economic structures collapsed, and the everyday lives of people were completely rearranged, some forever. I remember feeling like Chicken Little thinking, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling...". To be fair, it kind of was crumbling in on us.

People around the world felt the exact same as me. During that time, I was talking to my grandmother, who was 92-years-old at the time, one Sunday afternoon and she set me straight. Immediately she started to retell the history she had witnessed yet she was still around.

Born in 1928, she lived through all six years of WWII. According to History.com, that was the largest and deadliest conflict in history! Her childhood was overshadowed by the Great Depression from

1929-1939. Oh, the things she's seen...and yet she was still around to tell the story.

Believe it or not, her lesson was inspirational for me. It gave me hope. If she could live through all of that then I could live through all of this. Admittedly, my faith plays a huge role in my day-to-day existence. I could not survive without the Power Three, God-Jesus-Holy Spirit. The blessed Trinity.

If you're feeling afraid or like the sky is falling, take heart, you can trust in the Power Three too. Leaning on them, you can go to bed every night and wake up every morning knowing who is holding the sky.

Revelation 3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
