PERSONAL COVID-19 RESPONSE PLAN

Like so many Jesus followers, I sat in my family room with my wife, Tami and watched our church service online this past Sunday.  I missed attending church with my children and grandchildren.  I missed Sunday brunch at my favorite spot with my family.  However, what I gained was a lot of time to process what I was hearing and what’s happening in our world with Covid-19.  
 
Here’s what I came up with…
 

• I will pray for others – I am specifically praying for people I know who are most impacted by the virus.
• I will be a responsible citizen – I am in day 13 of my quarantine.  
• I will be proactive with my health – I am running, biking, or hiking every day.
• I will continue to serve those who serve the church – I am calling pastors, developing resources, and participating in webinars designed to help the church. 
• I will share what I have – It looks like the Relief Bill has something in it for most of us average families.  Tami and I are both blessed to be working but we know others that aren’t working.  If we get something, we will give it away and if we don’t, we will share what we have.  

 
My encouragement to you is not to focus on what you can’t do but focus on what you can do.  Take a few moments this weekend and develop your own Covid-19 Response Plan.  
 
For me, this came out of a sermon I heard, a conversation I had, reflection time I took, and simple journal notes I made.   
 
If you already have a plan or develop one, I would love to hear from you.  Let’s encourage one another.
