An Update from Tara, As Published in the February 2022 Branch
Finding Blessings in the Midst of Covid
We are all struggling to try to figure out how to make things normal, or back to how they were before Covid. It is a challenge. Our lives have changed. My father has to get his stomach removed, but his surgery keeps getting pushed back because of covid cases, there are no hospital beds for him. This is the same story for many people. A lot of us are lucky, either we haven’t had covid ourselves or we haven’t been affected by it. I have a sister-in-law who is a nurse. She is also going to have another baby this month. We all worry about Covid. It is something that we have to deal with. We don’t have to let it stop our life. Soon my dad will have his surgery and be better, soon my nephew will be here. God has continued to bless us even when it may not always feel like it. So, find those blessings. Look what God has given us. Be happy in the moments you have been blessed with.
