How is everyone doing?

Hi Highlander and all, 

These times have certainly shaken us haven't they. Its turned out very different than we thought. I am enjoying quality time with my boys. We have started a weekly Bible study, building things in th garden  for animals and birds, also generally  enjoying  home.life  It's been so good to have this glorious sunshine. We know that we are very blessed and support those around us who have greater callenges. My heart goes out to those who s care has been paused, altered or stopped due to the virus. Praying that Fathers peace rest on us all and trusting him daily for all our needs ️

Hello Israel, how lovely to hear that your using these trying times to spend more quality time with your boys, its often overlooked how valuable families can be to us. Plus getting things done around the house or garden can feel rewarding and making a very negative time a positive one, this is so important to help our mental wellbeing and also give some sense of normality with an ever changing environment.I really feel for those just diagnosed or having treatment changed or delayed because of the risks of the corona virus and why each case is looked at, at an individual bases, I feel for those who feel their forgotten or not important, they are and it’s important for them to know that god watches everything and everyone. I reflect on my thoughts that consume me, one of fear, fear of the unknown feeling overwhelmed by memories of friends that have passed and those that are going though such awful times, when I just want to go over and give them a big hug but aren’t able to because of the distance they are or the very fact of the virus restrictions. The feeling of helplessness but i hope my prayers will be acknowledged and some peace is given to a truly wonderful person who I cannot help even though every fibre of my body wants too, but i am not blessed with healing powers, so love and support will have to do, and i hope god can give them some relief very soon, for the sake of their family too.

This time of year the spring flowers and the blossoms reminds us of new life and how beautiful it is to see the various  array of colours. Our trees have blossomed well this year and although the hotter weather has blown them off quickly just like a snow storm they was still some beauty to this. 

Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the sunny weather and keeping safe. Like most of us I have been keeping busy tending the garden, hubby has been waterproofing the planters,fences and shed and on colder days we have been doing jobs around the house. I thank God for the wonder of nature, the bulbs,blossom and birds, especially the bird song which is so beautiful to hear in  the much quieter and peaceful atmosphere. I have been missing my family terribly, the care homes are locked down so we cannot see mum and dad and my mother in law and although we phone them regularly it's not the same as being able to hold and cuddle them. Likewise my daughter,her husband and my little granddaughter who are in Sussex so we cannot travel to see them as it would be classed as forbidden travel. My daughter is16 weeks pregnant and suffering terribly from sickness and I so long to help her but I am prevented from doing so. My son is still working and is frightened of infecting us so I pray this virus will come to an end soon. Too many good people have been  taken and as gbear says we seem powerless to do anything except pray to our father to deal with it all whilst protecting all those who are working amongst it and our loved ones and those who are vunerable ,young and old. It's a very strange, frightening world at the moment. Still our father has the plan and will fight the battle for us. I almost thought the lockdown was over yesterday without me realising it. Next door, a group of doctors of all people , held a large, noisy gathering  which lasted most of the day. The people four doors down were holding a children's party and don't get me started about what was going on round the corner in the next road. Loud music blaring , clinking of glasses, very loud laughter and a barbeque. I know people are getting a bit fed up but really! Please say it's just my corner of the world which was being so naughty. The neighbour we are attached to and I just looked at each other in disbelief and raised our eyebrows. It's been quieter today thank goodness. The doctors have been out all day since 8am and have not reappeared yet so I just hope they are working and not up to mischief somewhere else like the coast! Anyway,enough moaning about people's behaviour. I pray everyone and their families will be protected and given strength to cope with what is being thrown at us. Keep teaching Israel, a very important task you are doing and I'm sure your children will reap rewards from it. God bless everyone and take care. Love and hugs. Lamb.xxx P.S Has anyone heard from Process and how she and Don are doing? She's on my mind a lot recently and in my thoughts and prayers. Xx
