Hey Everyone,
We've had a few threads like this over the years, and it seemed like a good time to start another one.
Whether you're single, married, live alone, or with family, many of us live from day to day without hardly ever being asked how our day went or what we've been thinking about all day. (Admittedly, sometimes I'm thinking of making tacos for dinner, but I digress.)
Every person I know is a caretaker in some way, and it seems like caretakers are always lost in the shuffle. They're so busy taking care of everyone else, no one ever stops to ask them how THEY are. Over time, it takes a toll. You forget you're actually human, and it feels like life has become a dull routine of vain repetition (at least, that's how it feels to me at times.) Can you relate? We forget that we even count, because our job is to always look after someone else.
The Bible says that God knows the very number of hairs on our heads -- and while no human being knows us the way God does, it's nice to be reminded sometimes that other people still notice us and care about who we are.
This thread is a place that I hope everyone in every life situation can come back to. I'm hoping the exchanges might make it feel at least a little like they are talking to other real people, and will be reminded that their lives, their thoughts, and what happens to them in a day all counts.
All you have to do is tell us about something that's happened today, is going on in your life, what's on your mind -- or a combination of all 3.
After you've had a chance to share, end your post by asking, "How was your day?", opening the door for the next person to take their turn.
Anyone who reads these posts is welcome to comment, reply, offer prayer or feedback, etc. to any of the things others have shared -- or to just say a silent prayer for others and they take in what they have to say.
This thread is meant to be an ongoing conversation, hopefully making people feel a little less lonely in an increasingly isolated world.
Just as an example, I'll go first... (Answering the title of the thread -- "How Are You? How Was Your Day?"
Things are going ok. I had a family member with a medical emergency last week, but things are slowly getting better, praise God. Things were very on edge and at a standstill for several days. But today I'm thankful for a more "normal" day than in almost a month, and am enjoying reading posts here on the forum in between chores. So far, it's been a pretty good day.
Thank you for listening!
How was YOUR day? ❤️
