COVID-19 has unleashed many emotions and the emotional roller coaster has not abated. We are all struggling to balance work loads, childcare, isolation and the unknown. Patience, empathy and compassion are vital but loving your neighbor as yourself is wise counsel. Strength through love. Vine and branches culminates in the bearing of fruit. Love is the fruit of the abiding relationship of God and Jesus and those that follow Jesus. Prayer ushers in the fruit of love. Love one another as Jesus loves us. Jesus, the true vine. Love has power to renew and transform us. Transformation and strength through love, to the glory of God.

Amen
