Humans are social being. We are made to connect, interact and socialize. When the normal way of human interaction was interrupted, we find ways to create a new normal.
When lockdowns and stay at home rules were implemented for social distancing, people turned to technology and other creative means to keep human connection going.
Church services are now conducted through different social media platforms. It’s now normal to see live stream of church services on Facebook and meeting for Bible studies and other church activities on Zoom. My church- Lord of the Nations meet on Sunday, 3 PM via Zoom. That’s the new normal.
Birthday celebrations are done through virtual parties. My daughter Gilary’s Zoom birthday party was attended by friends from Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and the Philippines. At the party which lasted for many hours, they played games, sang and danced. That’s the new normal
My daughter Gilda’s friend Teana will have a “drive by” baby shower. Friends are decorating their cars with balloons, ribbons and posters. Gifts will be dropped off by the curb. That’s the new normal.
My daughter-in-law Lyndee, a schools teacher meets her pre-school students through video. That’s the new normal.
Jeanna Brown, a member of church got her first job as a music teacher through a series of video interviews… to the delight of her parents Carla and Gene. That’s the new normal.
Have you gotten used to the new normal? I invite you to share your experience. I’m sure you’ve dabbled into it one way or another. Please share your story in the comment section.
