As we tread cautiously, peacefully, and hopefully in a positive frame of mind into LOCKDOWN21, there are a few things to consider. Have you updated your will, have you GOT a will, have you made peace with those you have avoided over insignificance, pretty much everything now would seem insignificant as we prioritize the value of life, before more lives are claimed by this invisible and invincible force. As morbid as it sounds, it’s the harsh reality of this changing time.
It’s a time to put our differences aside, time to soften our hearts to forgiveness, and open our hearts to change. These are real times that we’re living in. It’s like watching that movie Contagion, and realising we’re actually living some of those scenes.
21 DAYS of LOCKDOWN...what does it mean for fellow South Africans?
There are some advantages : our streets will be safe from criminals..no reports of hijacking, burglaries, petty crime, we can sleep easy without those sounds where we think and wonder whose next in the neighbourhood.
What can we do? We can be RESPONSIBLE.
How can we help?
STAY AT HOME.
Follow the advice set out by the authority.
Keep in telephonic contact with family, check in with the elderly.
If you are going to the mall for necessities, protect yourselves by keeping your social distancing of at least 2 metres from any one coughing or sneezing.
Take heed of the advice set out by the WHO.
DO NOT SPREAD FAKE NEWS.
Maintain strict hand hygiene measures. DO NOT touch your face.
Educate your children if they don’t already know. Make them aware of this global crisis. This is the history they’ll be talking of in their future. These are historic times we are living through.
What will you be doing for lockdown?
When people are at work, some often say: how I wish I was at home or on holiday.
Well here’s your break.
There’s no need for boredom.
PRAY. Read the Bible or your religious scriptures.
Wake up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, and appreciate it.
Start a hobby. Start SINGING if you’ve never done it before.
Learn a new language online. Kids do your online studying.
PRAY
DANCE to your favourite music.
Bring out those board games you never had time for.
Sit with your kids and chat about your childhood.
Read to your kids, with your kids, for yourself.
PRAY
Make a movie night with popcorn. Create a cinema in your lounge.
Have snacks.
Rest....our bodies need it.
Exercise, practice yoga, meditate.
Reflect....write down your thoughts.
Complete that cleanup task you were always hoping you had time for.
Start baking. Start cooking. Experiment with new recipes.
PRAY...
Find out more about your spouse, about your children.
Assign each family member a chore so that everybody gets to do something and nobody feels left out!
Watch a comedy .... LAUGH!!!
Send out positive vibes on media... WE ALL NEED IT!!
Be encouraging.
Show your love, kindness and support to those around you and those who need it.
In light of the gloom and despair, STAY POSITIVE and KEEP YOUR FAITH.
Pray for the world. Pray for healing. Pray for our leaders that they may gain wisdom, knowledge, understanding and insight to the decisions they have to make and the impact thereof.
Pray for the frontline care workers who fear their lives, and their families lives, now more than ever, though still bravely get up, get dressed and go to work. Pray for a stronger and united nation, and for nations to unite globally.
God Bless Our World
Guard Her Children
Guide Her Leaders
And Give Her Peace
For Jesus Christ’s Sake
AMEN
🙏🏽
