Well, we've officially been "staying home" for a month. Schools have been closed, trips have been canceled, life as we knew it is just...different. Our new normal is still hard. We are missing our friends. We miss our church family. We miss the ability to plan.
I have seen some people posting lists. I thought I'd try.
What the Chinese virus took from us:
The rest of the school year for our home school co op
So many special events for our eighth grader
Our soccer season
The big boys first track season
A trip to visit family in Arizona
Date night with friends
Easter with friends.
Spring retreat with our youth group
Our trip to St. Louis that was a Christmas gift
Easter egg hunts
BUT
The Chinese virus has given us:
More family time
A calmer schedule
Extra sleep
Time to try new recipes
A chance to home school all the kids again
A reminder that even when things are uncertain and tough God is still good!
