Lockdown Thought — Day 15

There are some lovely word pictures that help us understand. We are to be the yeast that causes the dough to rise and be delicious. We are to be the salt in the porridge that makes it edible. We are to be like light in a dark place so we can all see. We are to be people who love greatly — today within and from our homes.

A laugh even on a solemn day:
