Whatsapp messages don't go away, Instagram and Facebook don't work either! For six long hours, three of the most used social networks in the world stopped working. Six long hours in which we could not interact again with family, friends, customers, co-workers, bosses, employees.

Much has been said about it and it didn't take long for creatives to send memes and jokes about how we were affected by this event, and it will surely be a topic of conversation for the next few weeks.

But it must be said, we like to be connected, to exchange information with our contacts. Social networks have managed to keep us connected no matter the time or place. We can tell our friends and acquaintances what we are doing, what is happening to us, what we did, and have their reaction to this event instantly.

Social networks bring us closer and allow us to share with people we do not see permanently, to know more about their lives, to be aware and interact with all of them, at least through a "Like" a "heart" or a "Happy Face".

"Everyone likes an appropriate response; it's beautiful to say the right thing at the right time!" Proverbs 15:23

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were afar off have been brought near by the blood of Christ" Ephesians 2:13

But beyond the virtual social network, we have an even more important one: our physical social network. And our physical social network begins at home and with those we share with on a daily basis.

When we wake up, our spouse and children are waiting for a "smiley face" or a "kiss". Our neighbors and co-workers are waiting for a "thumbs up" and a "happy face". During the day someone may share with you something important or a difficult situation they are going through and they are looking for a "Heart" or a "Hug" from you.

Your physical social network is a blessing; take advantage of every moment, every instant. You don't need internet, cell phone or computer; this social network only needs you. Emojis and emoticons are real and you have them in you, use them all the time, use them to the fullest!

God bless you!
