COVID-19 put a stop to so many of our plans and almost overnight sent us to our homes with no social life, some with no work, and at times with no hope. However, God will always take a bad situation and make good from it.
When I was looking for inspiration for this article, I found a wonderful quote from Dr. Seuss that stopped me in my tracks. “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.” Ten years from now, I believe we will all sit back and have aspects of the shutdown and pandemic that changed the way we live, and upon reflection, we will see the value behind the lessons.
For me, I see a value in slowing down. I am a go, go, go kind of person. I am always running, answering that email and text message, and returning that phone call. I take pride in my availability to Villager families, staff, and donors. However, things changed with COVID-19. The office was quiet as I was the only one in. I had time to sit in my office, reflect, and be alone with my thoughts.
Also, I was given the opportunity to serve the community of Sharing Meadows a different way. Instead of leading fundraisers, managing day to day operations, and putting out fires, I was able to order food for the Villager homes and connect more with Stewards. I was able to step away from my desk and spend time mowing our 185 acres of land. I am grateful for that opportunity. I learned so much and I have begun to appreciate even more the volunteers, staff, and friends I have here at Sharing Meadows.
On a personal level, I spent more time with my wife, Jessica. Our busy lifestyle slowed down a bit on the weekends. We cooked together, we worked on our yard together, and we had at home date nights together. I cherish the weekly, sometimes nightly, drives around our home in Valparaiso and the long walks we would take around the old fair grounds. Those moments were brought out because of the pandemic and they are memories that we will cherish forever. Now, because of the pandemic, I guarantee we will continue to do those activities together even more as we have learned how valuable they are.
Looking to 2021, I am filled with great hope. We will continue pushing through this pandemic together and our Villagers will continue to thrive in the community we have built together for them. While I am unsure what 2021 holds for us, I know in my heart that one day we will look back on these moments together and truly value the good that we have in our life.
A Prayer to Combat the Coronavirus
Most Merciful and Triune God,
We come to You in our weakness.
We come to You in our fear.
We come to You with trust.
For You alone are our hope.
We place before You the disease present in
our world.
We turn to You in our time of need.
Bring wisdom to doctors.
Give understanding to scientists.
Endow caregivers with compassion and
generosity.
Bring healing to those who are ill.
Protect those who are most at risk.
Give comfort to those who have lost a
loved one.
Welcome those who have died into Your
Eternal Home.
Stabilize our communities.
Unite us in our compassion.
Remove all fear from our hearts.
Fill us with confidence in Your care.
(mention your particular concerns and
prayers now)
Jesus, I trust in You.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Looking back, starting a New Year—-”How do I love thee, let me count the ways”
“The way” we say I love you, just because: a light touch in passing: a little kiss now and then: this just a day in the life of Mike and Sharon Mannion, living their “way”
“The way” our son, Tim, and our daughter, Chrisanne, have grown to caring, giving, loving examples of God’s precious creations. Never being afraid or worry knowing they’re watching over us. How blest are we! God knew “the way”
“The way” our little angel, Michele, in heaven comes to our aid when we call.
“The way” we welcome the year living each day as if the start of a new year, we will count our “ways” from the past and thank god for his merciful blessings.
And “by the way”, a happy, joyful, healthy new year to our beautiful Sharing Meadows family. God bless you all! int. Mike and Sharon Mannion

Memorials are a special way to honor the memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion for ourselves, our family, or our friends. We are grateful for all memorial donations, large and small, that we receive. We would like to remind you that our policy is that thank you letters and acknowledgment cards are not sent for any memorials received that are less than $10.00 per name. They will be printed in the GOOD NEWS but no cards or letters will be sent. Due to the increasing cost of paper, postage and time to send cards and letters, it is not good stewardship to spend the donations you have entrusted to us to fill mailboxes with mail.
Memorial donations of $10.00 or more per name will continue to be handled with a thank you letter acknowledgment to family and listing in the newsletter. If you do not require a thank you letter, please mark the envelope so that we can code your account and we can save the cost of a letter and use the funds for our programs for other-abled people. Thank you for your understanding!
