Plague Diary: Day 7
Wal-Mart is out of toilet paper. The BIG Wal-Mart I mean. I know this because I wanted to buy some as a housewarming gift for a friend.
Today, she moved into her house. A group of say 15 or so Christians showed up to help our sister move into her new place, post-divorce. We did it out of love and support and a common faith that binds us together, and a gospel that tells us to look out for one another. I know that people who have no belief in God do this same sort of thing, and that they love their friends too, but this was our motivation. We came to help, we did a good thing in a dark time. There were more than 10 folks gathered together, we shook hands, some of hugged, we bonded, laughed, fellowshipped in a manner a bit less traditional but just as heartfelt.
It was a beautiful day and hey, if you're gonna move into a new place, what better time than a pandemic where everyone is off work, bored, and can show up? I love my brothers and sisters and would do just about anything to help them. I'm thankful for the opportunity... even if I DID accidentally drink from someone else's Red Solo Cup.
Oh well.
