Shelter In Place

Depending on traffic, Mandaue is about 15-30 minutes away from Mabolo, where I currently live. Yesterday, the first case of CoVid19 was diagnosed in Mandaue. Now it’s hitting home or where home is now.

After a conversation with a friend, his thoughts are that enhanced restrictions will begin shortly. A possible military presence, among other measures, may be taken to insure public safety. We talked about steps I could take to protect myself, as well as, what he’s doing to protect himself and his family.

Today, Thursday, March 19, 2020, I am grateful that:

All my needs are met today. I have the basics and that’ll suffice. Although I haven’t ventured out to find them, I’m quite certain there are those near me now that don’t have the basics. The simple things most of us take for granted. During these times of difficulty, I’m happy for the little things.

Perspective and discernment have been given to me this morning. My purpose of my call was to levy a bit of pressure in hopes of securing an investment into my business but as the conversation progressed what I learned was there’s more than just launching my company. I can be patient during these times. I can exhibit compassion, willingness, and fortitude.

Roni asked for what she needed and I was able to assist. She hasn’t sent all the details yet but I’ll be able to contribute and help her meet her needs for the moment. The basic medical necessities of life, things I’d once taken for granted are no longer affordable to some and if I’m able to assist, I shall.

How are you serving your community during these times?

How are you meeting the needs of others?

How do you persevere?
