After three weeks in "quarantine", we have almost forgotten what life was like when it was "normal". We have taken our liberty and freedom for granted for far too long, and haven't appreciated what we had! We have had time to relax and reflect on many aspects of life, and what is important to us, and what isn't.
We are still in the middle of the Covid19 coronavirus pandemic - but while we are still in isolation, it is vital that we take the time to look at our lives and think about what we are going to return to when we get the green light. I have a strange suspicion that the old "normal" and the new "normal" will look different.
We have an opportunity, and an obligation, to take the best of what we had before, and add it to the important things that we now enjoy and value - and find a way to become better versions of ourselves.
In many ways, that's what the Christian is all about - constantly looking at our lives and trying to become better versions of ourselves. At the first Easter, Jesus showed us that He was becoming a better version of himself, by bearing our sins on the cross, and though his resurrection bringing us the assurance of eternal life.
In future years we will look back at Lent and Easter 2020, and remember them as the strangest months we've endured in our generation, but perhaps - just perhaps - we may remember them as the beginning of the rest of our lives.
Christ is risen! Alleluia! Now it's our turn to resurrect our lives!
