Sidewalk art sends encouraging messages while maintaining social distances

STAY ENCOURAGED – During the current COVID-19 crises, staying positive and encouraged is vital to getting through this period. In place of the person-to-person interaction that most people have been used to before this began, some people have found creative ways to keep each other encouraged and lift spirits. Becky Miler, who writes the column in The Madison Record, God’s Lemonade Stand, sent us these photos of some sidewalk art along Brenda Drive in Madison. Other residents have started to put up their Christmas lights again and another used their Halloween decorations in a humorous reminder to wash our hands. If you have a creative way to reach others through various displays, please send it along with your name to john@madisonweeklynews.com. CONTRIBUTED
