Weird Blessings

1/1/2021

Needless to say - 2020 was weird!
But there were blessings, nonetheless.
So here's a look back at some of the messes - and the blessings that I observed.
Mess - Pandemic closed country's borders / Bless - Weekly face time with siblings that live far away.
Mess - Contamination worries / Bless - Better, and more consistent, cleaning of community areas and transportation.
Mess - Enforced furlough when businesses closed / Bless - More time for music and family.
Mess - Politicians / Bless - Overwhelming voter turn out
Mess - In-person conferences and workshops cancelled / Bless - Was able to have world-wide participants at my first virtual workshop presentation!
Mess - Group worship services cancelled / Bless - Churches became creative in how they worshiped and served the Lord
Mess - Large group holiday celebrations limited or canceled / Bless - More intimate celebrations with loved ones.
Mess - Music rehearsals canceled / Bless - Production and publication of personal music videos.
Mess - Businesses were not able to function as 'business as usual' / Bless - Businesses were able to be creative and find new and better ways to serve their customers
Mess - Both sets of parents needed new living situations / Bless - Reliving of precious memories while going through and packing up their households.

Life lesson? There will always be messes - but looking for, and appreciating the blessings leads to a happier and more fulfilling life.
