With just two months left of 2020, we reflect today on the months passed and are reminded of the many changes that we and our families, friends, and colleagues have undergone. In these unprecedented and frightening times, it may be difficult to find things to be grateful for this holiday season.
An uncertain year and uncertain times have had the potential to turn our perception of this time of year around, but through faith, we are reminded of the many possibilities for
The Joy of Family and Friends in Times of Darkness
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the ways in which we view the time we spend with our families. We learn to cherish the moments we get with them, whether face-to-face or virtually. In times of darkness, we learn to hold on to our loved ones for comfort and stability, and it’s through our family and our friends that we find the strength to continue on when we feel discouraged or alone.
Sharing experiences and offering words of advice or understanding bring us close together. Enjoying the presence and existence of our loved ones will help guide us toward happiness. Let us be thankful for them.
Health in Uncertainty
With over nine million reported cases of COVID-19 in the United States, our health should be precious to us. Every day that we wake up in good health is a blessing, and we must take care to never take our well-being for granted.
Health serves as the foundation for the most powerful human joys and sorrows in life, and without it, we are truly unable to live our infinitely important lives to the absolute fullest, as God wants for us. Each day, remember how important your health is – to yourself and for the people around you. Let us be thankful for good health and the front-liners that put their own lives on the line to ensure it for the nation.
