LESSONS LEARNED ON COVID 19 PANDEMIC

Lorna G. Noveno

The corona virus or COVID 19 pandemic has brought a lot of changes to everyone’s life in the entire world. Many were threatened with the possible effect in catching the virus. Lots of lessons were learned from this pandemic, from the simple hand washing activities to more extra careful of proper and personal hygiene. Using facemasks and face shield is now part of everyday routine. Health wise is now a priority, Vitamin C is essential, proper diet and regular exercise is the new trend of keeping one’s fit.

People learned to value the importance of Family. Staying together and spending time as a family was observed especially during the time that people were lockdown in their own places. Celebrations like wedding, anniversary, birthday and even death are now considered as family gathering celebrations. Safety precautions are enhanced like social distancing to keep social gathering safe.

Most of all, a realization that God is the ultimate source of everything and that everyone is only God’s steward. Life belongs to God. Death is certain and there is judgment after death but God is a loving and forgiving God who forgives sins. Heaven awaits people who confess sins and trust God as Savior.

Now is the time of salvation . Everyone must be ready and prepare to meet God. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
