Whew! I don’t know about y’all, but if I read one more email or Facebook article with something deep about this virus, I may curl up in a ball and cry.  It’s such a delicate balance of being proactive to stay informed but also clinging onto the truths of the Word to avoid being flooded with fear.  As a family, we are doing everything in our power to stay clean, healthy, and distanced, but sometimes, it all just feels a bit much. Yes, the entire situation is serious and commands discipline, obedience, and prayer, but there are ways we can commit to finding joy. So, we decided to make a Silver Lining List, a “bucket list” of sorts for this time at home. Below, you will find a link to a freebie download. We posted ours on our fridge based on a few things we can to accomplish as a family: some simple, some fun, some chore-based, some not. The goal is to come out on the other side of this with a few memories, a stronger bond, and a deeper sense of how to celebrate small victories.

A few examples of what we put on ours: 

-paint the piano

-play outside

-watch entire Bourne franchise

-go on a family walk

-create a spring-themed craft

-FaceTime family

-clean out guest closet

-plant a new tree

 

Go find your silver lining 🙂
