Covid-19 Opportunity

Covid-19

Opportunity

The Bible tells us to make the most of every opportunity

I heard a pastor asked this question

What is it you would like to do in this season of Pandemic?

When the pandemic has passed or life starts to get back to your regular schedule?

What is it that you would feel bad about not doing in this season?

Everything is normal until it gets recognition

Think about your normal day than add someone’s smile as they see you

All of a sudden that moment is special

Its spring and you will walk or drive by thousands of beautiful flowers

Some as big as trees others, lonely little strangers

Take time to notice each one

The people around you are worth more than any flower

And with your love and encouragement you can make them blossom

It is your Opportunity

Opportunity

The Bible tells us to make

the most of every opportunity.

I heard a pastor asked this question…

What is it you would like to

do in this season of Pandemic?

When the pandemic has passed or life

starts to get back to your regular schedule?

What is it that you would feel bad

about not doing in this season?

Would you have wished you had made more

phone calls to find out how others are doing?

And to let them know you

were thinking of them?

Would you have wished you had

taken the time to pray?

 Or, do a study in God’s Word to

answer some personal question?

Everything is normal

until it gets recognition.

Think about your normal day…

 Then add someone’s smile as they see you.

All of a sudden that moment is special.

Normal can be changed so easily

to special with taking the opportunity.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day…

 Just another Sunday until

opportunities were taken.

Each of our children stopped

over with a gift for Sandy to

wish her a Happy Mother’s Day.

We took time to listen to each other and to ask

questions which made that person feel special.

To change normal into special doesn’t

have to be hard or costly…

 It just takes “Recognition”.

This spring I made it my goal

to recognize the signs of spring.

I took pictures of the tree and flowers blooming.

 I know that even though I had a lot

of things to do, I needed to get

outside at just the right time.

I needed to make sure I was taking the

pictures when the sun was out and

before the wind and rain removed the flowers.

I had to make the most of those windows

of opportunity in order to capture the special.

Don’t let your day be normal…

 Make it special.

Make the most of every opportunity.

Say a kind and encouraging word.

When you need to go on an errand,

 invite a child to go with you or a

friend because you want their company.

Making the most of every opportunity,

what will that be for you today?

What will you move from normal to

 special be for you in this pandemic?

 Let’s take a practice run at this right now.

Go to the closest person to you

 or pick up your phone and in

some simple way say a kind word.

 Tell them you love them and why.

Turn the next 10 minutes of normal into special.

Then keep it up all day long.

This spring you will walk or drive

by thousands of beautiful flowers.

 Some as big as trees, others, lonely little strangers.

Take time to notice each one.

The people around you are worth

more than any flower…

And with your love and encouragement,

 you can make them blossom.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 5:15-18 NIV

15 Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
