I thought I wouldn’t be the only one but found that article so interesting. I think more of us languish than we realize. Love your quote from Job

Lingering over my gratitude journal brings me joy as I contemplate all the ways God continues His goodness. “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted” (Job 5:9)–even during a pandemic!

glad you are avoiding languishing. I know a lot of people aren’t and don’t fully know it. I thought that article was so good and kind about this issue.

Linger was my One Word for 2020, and I learned so much through it (including how hard it is to do sometimes!).

Bottom line…joshua 1:9..
“Have i not COMMANDED you”…”be strong and be of a good courage”
So i have to ask myself..is He my Commander or not??

Yes, let’s linger at the feet of Jesus for strength, hope and courage as we walk through this. I am recovering from covid and am grateful for the love of family and friends. Hubby is now day 12 in hospital and is eager to come home. Praying for that day to come soon. Thank you for reminding us where to keep our focus. Good words Jean!

But it is a sad state of affairs left in the wake of this pandemic. Praying that we all come through it safely so we can recharge our lives, our hopes, our dreams.
Blessings!
