The Corona Crisis — Creative Diversions for Families
Can anything good come from a crisis? Particularly, the Covid-19 Pandemic? I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately, as I watch life as we once knew it fade into the distance, and a new normal come to the forefront. People grumble and panic. They blame and turn inward.
THERE IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE ON THE HORIZON
While some reveal a negative attitude in response to what is swirling around them, (let’s not mention the TP frenzy), others are doing something positive during this crisis. And I believe for many, it comes from deep inside with a heart of faith in God and His providence.
I notice one major benefit of this Shelter-in-Place order — families are spending more time together. But of course, this has its downside. Many people in one house for an uncertain length of time can be taxing. So, what is the solution?
