As I scroll through social media, I see people at picnics, parades and fireworks celebrations. It looks like so much fun. People are smiling. Food is abundant, and everyone looks so relaxed.
I often wish I could join the people on my computer screen. I wish I had the energy to spend a day (or weekend) playing games and chatting with friends. Unfortunately, I don’t have the energy to leave my home.
Instead, I spend the day (like most other days) in bed. I push through fatigue and exhaustion. When it is time for fireworks, I stay home and watch a fireworks display from another community on television.
As my eyelids are heavy with sleep, I reflect back on previous holidays in which I was well enough to leave my home. As I drift to sleep, I ask God when I will be well enough to once again enjoy celebrations with family and friends.
