when restaurants close,
drive throughs open double lanes
to serve safely.
when schools close,
teachers open online rooms
to teach remotely.
when surgical centers close,
hospital personnel open doors
to care courageously.
when church buildings close,
God’s people open united hearts
to pray faithfully.
Linking to dVerse Poets quadrille prompt…44 words on “close”.

I am reminded of how isolated pioneers worshiped. Maybe this will help persons of faith remember what the church is really all about.

May it be so…it’s where 2 or 3 are gathered!

Yes. There is much more to God’s house than buildings!

I am curious to see what Sunday looks like during this Pandemic. Have people ever been told they can’t go to church on Easter Sunday? I’m sure there have been eras in history when certain groups have been told to stay away,

We are reminded that the Church is a body of believers, not a building to meet in…

Yes, and I do believe that. So many people though don’t see it that same way. To each his own, right?

We do find new ways of living… it just takes some thought.

A lot of heroes and a lot of stories of great humanity. But also a lot of the old divisions… every stands out in sharp relief in such terrible times.

So true…the best and the worst sides of humanity are seen.
