DESPERATE TO BE TOGETHER

Mary Daniel hadn’t seen her husband for 114 days due to coronavirus restrictions at the senior care facility where he lives. Her husband, Steve, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s seven years ago and moved into a care facility in Jacksonville, Florida.

She said she had been visiting her husband every night and would get him ready for bed. But when the coronavirus pandemic hit, health facilities restricted visitors as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to vulnerable patients. The facility closed to visitors on March 11—the last time she saw Steve as a visitor.

Mary was worried about her husband spending so much time alone and said she was “desperate” to find another way to stay connected.

She was willing to do anything for the chance to get inside, and so she did. Mary interviewed and was hired at the facility as a dishwasher.

We were separated from God due to the effects of sin (Eph. 2:12; 4:18), yet God wanted to show his deep love for us. The only way was for Jesus to enter our world was in the role of a servant. He willingly did this to be with us and reunite us with God
