Quarantine Assignments
Send a note, email, text to at least one person you know but are separated from. Let them know you are thinking of them, care for them, and ask if there is anything you can pray for.
Stop and have a joy/thanksgiving party at least once every day.
As difficult as it may be, find time to get alone. And make sure the others with you have their alone time too.
Do some physical labor.
Listen to music you can sing along with.
Keep a journal of your thoughts for each day.
Get your rest.
Get your hugs.
Read a psalm.
Memorize one psalm a week with your family.
Pray for your pastor.
Put your phones away for most of the day.
Read a book or even just a poem out loud to someone or to yourself if you have to.
Call your grandparents or your parents or an elderly person you know from your church at least once a week. And listen--don't talk.
Spend some moments alone with each of your children personally. Again--listen, don't talk.
Embrace patience. Exude kindness. Celebrate love. Stoop down in gentleness.
Pray to start each day: "Make me a blessing to someone today."
