    2. Response to Authorities - We must obey, support, and reflect what they communicate----more----
    3. Response to Fellow Believers - Socialize while isolating by calling, talking, and having virtual or online fellowship to encourage, love, care and motivate one another.

    5. Response to Your own family - Be compassionate, be submissive, be loving, caring and encouraging one another
    6. Response to yourself - Understand your inability, self-care, do not carry the burden, lay them down at the foot of the cross, share with others and love yourself by regularly exercising and eating healthy.
    7. Response to rest of the World - Make sure your bank account is linked to a program that feeds at least one hungry soul each day. Support the child sponsorship or food assistance programs to feed the hungry. https://www.hipm.org/response-to-hunger/
