I am recovering from a nasty case of COVID-19. I guess it’s inevitable that everyone will contract this virus at some point, just like we do with the common cold and flu. Everyone seems to experience COVID-19 differently. Some are extremely sick — some have mild cold symptoms. We also know many have died. I count myself blessed, but I need to tell you — COVID-19 fatigue is a real thing.

The worst of the symptoms were over in about 5–6 days, but I still am experiencing fatigue. Walking the length of the living room leaves my knees weak. My concentration is limited (no comments from anyone who knows I lack concentration on a good day!).

Yet all is well. Daily chores can wait. God has given us a body that combats the virus in ways we can’t even fathom. He brings healing in His time and in His way. In my weakness, my Lord is my strength. In my lack of focus, my eyes remain on the cross of Christ.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me (2 Corinthians 12:9).

No other insights from me this week — I rest in the knowledge that I am HIS!

Held by HIS Word;

Inspired to share HIS message; and

Surrounded by HIS grace.

Today, and always, we are surrounded by HIS grace,

Debbie
