Pandemic

Dear God,

Perhaps we will have to quarantine intermittently for a very long time.  If this comes about—quarantine and then vaccination, and then out and about for a time—please bring me to acceptance for this new normal.

Acceptance of what we don’t understand, the acceptance that tempts us to ask “why,” will be a dead end for me today and every day.  Help me to enjoy the secluded life, if that is what is ahead. 

Your presence in my life will make all the difference.

Amen.
