We know more about more than ever before. We are constantly drawn to the

busyness and hurriedness of life. All that busyness conspires to make us

less-aware people. That lack of awareness is at the heart of disenchantment

and relational distance. In the midst of a pandemic, with news constantly

changing, we have never been more informed. But informed is not the same

thing as aware. How often do we pause to consider what's right in front of

us? What if a blessing of this really painful time is God's ability to

bring forward our deep inattentiveness to the people God has given us to

love and care for? What in your life would change if you were able to pay

attention?
