Last week I ministered to a family in our ICU who lost a father and three sons to Covid-19 all in the same week. I witnessed doctors fatigued, nurses exhausted, and staff stretched to the limit. Every bed in the unit was full. This week I chased codes and sat with family waiting to hear if their loved ones were able to be saved. And then I log into social media and hear people complaining about wearing masks, not being able to eat at an indoor facility, attend a movie, or having to worship outdoors or online.
What’s going on outside the hospital is almost more heartbreaking than what’s happening inside.
“Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” Philippians 2:14-15 NLT
