Pandemic
by Lynn Ungar
What if you thought of it
as the Jews consider the Sabbath—
the most sacred of times?
Cease from travel.
Cease from buying and selling.
Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down.
And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives
are in one another’s hands.
(Surely, that has come clear.)
Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch.
Promise this world your love—
for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health,
so long as we all shall live.
………..With thanks to All Souls Church, Charlottesville, VA
JUST RELEASED!!!!!
Ruthy is excited to announce her new Love Inspired Release, that seems to be more available this week than it was for the last two weeks, so that's nice! It's a great story, a beautiful tale of second chances and new beginnings and how God's perfect timing sometimes puts perfect strangers right where they need to be to fall in love... and make a difference! You can order it on Amazon OR find it in Walmart and grocery stores but don't make a special trip to get it, darlings. STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE!!!! You're too special to take a risk. I did find it on WALMART this week, too, so that was good!!!! YAY!!!!
DEAR FRIENDS,
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
If you can't find
DANGEROUS AMISH INHERITANCE
in your local bookstore and/or Walmart...
or if you aren't venturing out of your house,
the story--both print and digital--
is available online.
Dangerous Amish Inheritance
By Debby Giusti
“Move off the mountain. No one wants you here.”
Can this Amish widow survive her dangerous stalker?
Someone wants Ruthie Eicher off Amish Mountain…enough to terrorize the widow and her boys. Now Ruthie must rely on her former sweetheart, Noah Schlabach—the secret father of her eldest son—as they figure out why. But Noah has turned his back on love and the Amish way of life. Can he shield Ruthie…without breaking her heart again?
