How has this pandemic affected you, friend?

Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today. -- The pandemic has ripped many things from our lives. It has stolen friends and acquaintances. This virus is no joke.  We all know that life will return to a new normal in the next 30 days or so. I don’t believe that we should or will return to the old ways of life. We’ve been sobered by the fragility of life and our lifestyle. friend, how has this pandemic affected you? I was thinking about the pre-9/11 airport security compared to the new levels of security. We’ve gotten used to the long lines and intrusions of privacy. They’ve become quite normal for all of us. After the worst of the coronavirus is over, I’m sure that we will have to make changes to protect ourselves and others. I’m assuming the masks and gloves will be relegated to hospitals and clinics, but we’ll probably use sanitizers forever.  During my morning bike ride, I thought, what will I add back to my own life? Or to my own faith? 2 Peter 1:5-7 encourages us to add seven things to our faith: 

1. Excellence
2. Knowledge 
3. Self-control 
4. Perseverance 
5. Godliness 
6. Brotherly love
7. Agape love

friend…can you try to add these important qualities to your life, business or family? Would these seven qualities help you become a better you? I’ve made my choice. I will not eat out as much, I will not watch sports as much, I will save more money for a rainy day and I’ll try to live each day as if it might be our last. Because it might.  David asked the Lord to “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalms 90:12, NIV) friend…I’m praying God will help you add real value to your soul, spirit and relationships. You can choose what fills you, or society will do it for you. Choose well.  You’re a miracle. Paul Marc Goulet -- Thank you, Paul Marc, for sharing this today!
