It's All Good

PROMPT January 1st

What’s something GOOD that happened in 2020?



My 2020 started off fine. We remodeled a room in our home. We seem to be doing that every year. A room a year. We have one more to go on the first floor.

We attended a book signing in March. That was just as all this Corona Crazy business started and shut down the world. Little did I know that life would become increasingly bothersome as the months dragged on.

Our life hasn't changed much. Just like Robert Waltz said, no one has died in my family, no friends have had the virus, I haven't lost my job, I haven't lost my house, I still have money to buy food, I can still heat my home. So I feel very blessed.

I complain about everyday things. But in the grand scheme of life, those are just little minor irritations, mosquito bites. Not big dog bites. Or bear bites.

So what's something good that happened? I didn't get sick. Hubby didn't get sick. My children and grandchildren didn't get sick. God is still in control.

And the sun came up on January 1, 2021 just as it always has since the creation of the world. Amen.
