Greetings from the Ford’s. We here at the Ford Homestead are still living a secluded life style, as I assume most everyone is. Staying in one’s home away from friends and relatives can be somewhat gloomy, especially when we don’t have a real date for an end in sight. I understand that we can watch TV, maybe get a book and read it, or we can call friends and talk. Sometimes those things help, but they do not provide genuine relief from the boredom.
For me, I watch old black and white TV shows, as they don’t have a bunch of blood and guts in them. I do read the bible daily and as I am reading I try to visualize what was taking place. There is a verse out of Matthew 11:28 which states;
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
As I see it, many are weary and they may very well feel as if they are carrying a heavy burden, in this time of isolation. Even if you are at home with your spouse it may still seem as if you are alone. It is suggested that you get outside and go for a walk, do something that you haven’t been doing. If you are watching TV too much, go pull some weeds from the flower bed. If you are working from home using a computer, get away from the computer. You can do some simple exercises and stretching in your home, which will help get the blood circulating.
Most everyone has some of these depressing feelings, if you are one of these people, take a moment and talk with your lord.
If you know someone who seems to be having those unhappy feelings, call them, or if they are a neighbor you can visit as long as you stay at a safe distance.
Perk up, do something different, ask and you shall receive!
Don Ford
