My part-time job is to teach high school students online who are too sick to attend school. Some have physical ailments like cancer and others have mental or emotional ailments like bipolar disorder. It is often painful to witness the isolation and loneliness these students experience. In most cases it is the entire family that struggles to manage the day to day challenge of the illness and at times it can be overwhelming. I wonder, are our churches a source of encouragement and healing for such families or do we add to their isolation. When people with illnesses come to our churches do we find ways to accommodate for them or do we attempt to pretend like they are not sick. The Spirit of the Lord is upon us to make a difference.
