Sunday Funday March 29
Prayers and Praises
Praises that we are all healthy and happy and have been loving online learning with the International School.
Prayers for my friend Moose, and many others who are battling Coronavirus, or the added risk to other health issues.
Prayers and Praises as we are about the same as last week here: social distancing and things being mostly peaceful, but not knowing when that could quickly change.
Prayers as next week starting Wednesday is manditory school vacation for our state in Brazil, taking two weeks (or more) from our July break from April 1-15. We will miss the structure and outside help of online classes.

The Day That: My own thoughts on Coronavirus (Five Minutes of Fergie)
What Coronavirus is saying about Grief: “And the anticipated griefs of the things yet to be lost. The unknowns of how long quarantine will last. Our trauma re-sparked. Our anxieties once managed now resurfacing, old companions of darkness we thought we’d relegated away.” (Sarita Hartz)
My favorite interweb read from this week has been moved to “protected” and needs a password to access now. It was from a missionary family that had to be evacuated. Their mission board called them home against their wishes. It was raw and beautiful and true on such a deep level…that I understand many people were not ready to hear it, and so now it isn’t open to the public. That makes me sad, but I understand. There is so much like this going on in the world right now…I hope we are ready to hear it.
