The COVID-19 pandemic measured by any metric has created significant challenges. Self isolation and social distancing has impacted our economy and mental health wellness. As isolation eases as a consequence of strict adherence to our medical community, family or friendly bubbles have emerged allowing greater social interaction. Grandparents to see grandchildren as an example. The healing process is underway psychologically. Glad tears not sad tears. The Lord appears in the guise of strangers to Abraham saying his wife Sarah will bear a child Isaac in her post-menopausal years and she overhears the conversation and laughs. All those that heard her laugh were happy and laughed with her. Glad tears not sad tears. All things are possible with God. Believe and be saved, to the glory of God. Amen.

Based on the readings for the week: Genesis 18:1-15; 21:1-7
