An Imperfect Christian Mom's COVID-19 Diary #11

 

Desperately seeking normal. That's my new name. I took the Lil' Diva and the Lil' Princess to the mall this week for summer clothes. How annoying!

• Anchor stores had limited or no access into the mall, so you had to go back outside and walk or drive around to get into the mall.
• Many stores are still closed.
• They must not be running the A/C in every store because I came close to passing out while standing in line waiting for one of two cashiers in the entire two-level JcPenny's to check out. I can only imagine how the cashiers must be feeling since they are wearing masks their entire shift. 
• You stand in line to get into many of the popular stores since they must limit the number of people in the store at a time.
• You can't try anything on, so I get to go back next week to return things that didn't fit.
• People are cranky.

The pandemic has frazzled everyone's nerves. Many are tired of the way things are. Add to this the social unrest across the country, and we are bound to be short with each other.

I pray we remember to give each other a bit of grace. I continue to pray we focus on what brings us together instead of what divides us. I pray for the future of our country and the future leaders of this country. We must stand together!

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.
~ Titus 3:1-2
