We have all developed resilience in those areas. Stasi and I reread the trilogy every few years. I love road trips! When we were learning to read, the size of those adult books on our parents’ shelves seemed so daunting now, people relish long novels, or tomes like The Lord of the Rings. When we were all learning to drive, the idea of a ten-hour road trip seemed overwhelming but now, many people enjoy them, do them for vacation. Maybe resilience is part of what God is doing in us right now. Our grandparents and great-grandparents lived through those rough years with a kind of resilience I think we would each love to have in this hour. The local baker would go out after the London bombings (sometimes during them) and help pull neighbors from the rubble of fallen buildings, then put on his white apron and open shop next morning. Never knowing when a bomb might drop, or a tank roll through your front yard. I was thinking back to what it must have been like to live in occupied Europe during WWII, or besieged England. I’m asking God for a heavenly provision of resilience! Spoiler-I’m not going to lay anything heavy on you. And this crazy year has me realizing that thriving requires resilience. Who thrives during hard times, who doesn’t, and why.īecause I want my friends-including you!-to thrive, in spite of these days. I've been thinking a lot about resilience.
