Our “This Sunday” series will be another a Corona Virus edition. For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Talk to Someone Isolated Because of the Virus.
We have been over 6 months into this virus situation. That’s a long time. I know I have written earlier about calling someone this Sunday. This is a reminder to do that but also specifically to call someone who is isolated because of the virus.
Remember this verse: “not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.“ (Hebrews 13:16). But let’s try our best to follow this.
One way is to call someone on the phone who goes to your church to talk to them. Or even meet up with someone. Plan to talk not just five minutes but something longer: say 30 minutes or an hour.
It might also be be good for you too!

The Corona Virus situation has been a long affair, and it is far from over as we head back towards lockdown again. Throughout this many people have been forgotten and left isolated as we focus on those nearest us. We live in a neighbourhood with a lot of elderly folks but recently I stopped to speak to a neighbour my own age across his driveway. I found out because of risk to his health he hasn’t been in any shops for 6 months. I had assumed he was okay because he looked healthy. It is a classic lesson in needing to think carefully who you know and reaching out anyway. Thank you brother for this reminder, God bless you.
Thanks for this insight. This is very important. We need to connect with as many as we can.
Blessings.
Thank you for these posts. It’s so important that we reach out to others in these difficult times we live in.
Amen we need to reach out in this time. Also thank you for the congratulations on the blog anniversary. How are you doing by the way sister?
I always say by God’s Grace I stand, because it is true for me. It’s amazing to see how the trials God allows helps one to focus on what is important in life. Our priorities change.
Peace and blessings to you and your family.
Well said, Jimmy!!
Thanks for the good exhortation! Yup, just a simple phone call can help lift up someone.
Indeed! Is it warm at 80 F still today at ROC?
It actually got up to 85F yesterday and lots of sun! Same today! The nice weather today will give me a chance to paint four storm windows that I just put up in the section of the house that I just painted. After today, the temps take a turn back down to the 60s and 50s with lots of rain predicted.
This is a good suggestion to make a call especially those who are affected psychologically in this pandemic, Jim! They say in EM/DRM response, your doom if it has been: 3 weeks without food, 3 days without drinking water, 3 hours in extreme cold/hot place, 3 minutes without oxygen, and a number of days/weeks without love or someone caring. Thanks for the call.
Wow thanks for sharing the info, informative. How are you Gersom with this quarantine?
Sanctified with GOD’s word in this extra time, Jim. It has been 6 months plus without leaving 2 meters plus from the gate.
Thank you for the reminder. The elderly have suffered greatly.
Thank you, Jim! Hopefully this situation will give us a lasting concern for all our shut ins.
I imagine you have been limiting going outside yourself in light of everything? =(
Yeah, but I get a lot of support from family and friends. 🙂
Like cold water to a weary soul,
So is good news from a distant land.
Proverbs 25:25 NASB
I reach out to my parents in Montana, especially my mother and stepfather. They are more isolated because of his recurring health issues as well as their advanced age. Each of us feels more uplifted with each call.

The day is definitely drawing nearer as noted with all the things happening around us. We do need to encourage each other. It is not good for anyone to feel lonely on these times.
