Yet, knowing God walks with us and holds our futures in His hand gives us - me - something to hang on to. Thanks for commenting - and praying for your parents.

You have my sympathy on the hayfever front, Nola, because this is change-of-season hayfever weather round here at the moment.

But as the day has gone on, I've wondered if the hayfever I thought I had is actually a cold. With a heavy heart, I just rang to say I'd better not come in case. They understood, but the nursing home could go into lockdown at any time and then I won't be able to see them at all. Then I thought I'd have a quick look at Facebook and saw your lovely words of encouragement. Yes it's good to remember that even though we don't know what's happening, God does and he will get us all through this time. Thanks you lovely ladies. xxNola Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484579374187759802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-42737899430848707372020-03-19T13:57:45.789+10:002020-03-19T13:57:45.789+10:00Thanks lovely ladies, for this smorgasbord of comf...Thanks lovely ladies, for this smorgasbord of comfort and encouragement. What a beautiful selection of poetry and quotations. I've been among those lying in bed in the small hours of the morning with my head whirling, wondering what the future contains. I agree with Sue, the 'Gate of the Year' sure is a suitable word for 2020, starting off with fires and Corona Virus and it's still only March! We all know who is in control, and will continue to build each other up until we see the light at the end of this.

Some people were going out of their way to smile and speak nicely. But i did sense the fear in others who couldn't find what they wanted. These are uncertain times, but we have a sure and certain hope. Also, perhaps, we can identify better with our brothers and sisters around the world who live with uncertainty and shortages and the threat of untreatable sickness every day. God bless the CWD Admin team for their role in keeping us confident in Christ through all this.Julia Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045982720040438196noreply@blogger.com
