Three years from now some of you will look back and admit that you spent an entire year of your life wearing a mask, cooped up in your home and avoiding all the people you love. A year in your life you may never get back.

And let me say this, I’m not saying the virus isn’t real, or that there aren’t people that could be/have been really affected. If you’re at risk, take precautions and stay at home if you’re sick.

Every single day is a risk.
Car accident, flu etc.

Our days are numbered from the day we draw our first breath. Life isn’t a race where we win against the inevitable. That has not changed since the beginning of time.

BUT, we should not be forced to live in fear.

We went from being a free nation to be told we:
couldn’t go to school
couldn’t go to church
couldn’t go to our grandma’s house
couldn’t pay respects to a loved one at a funeral
couldn’t leave our homes

4/8

And when we were finally allowed to do these things, we were told:

how long we could be there
which direction to walk
what to wear
what we can/can’t buy
where we could shop/not shop
whether we could sing, shout, or worship
what time we had to be home

Yes, our health matters.
Know what else matters?

family
friends
church
school
sports games
family vacations
life
fitness
hugs
mental health

One day you will hug your grandma, mom, dad, sister for the last time.

One day your best friend will cry on your shoulder for the last time.

One day you’ll spend your last time laughing with a loved one

One day you’ll dance your last dance

7/8

Don’t waste the days you have living in fear. Your time here on earth matters. Live your life while you still have the chance. God is gonna call you home when it’s your time. Virus or no virus.
