Sandra’s Soliloquy
Hello Folk
I haven’t written recently, just shared the Methodist prayers and Worship songs. I think I’m beginning to hibernate. I enjoy the sun when it appears, whether from my reclining chair, my bed, in the car, or out on my scooter. I am always in awe of the sun shining through the leaves on the trees, and like to take photos, which never truly capture the variety of greens and sunlight.
We have had plenty of rain of course, and for many commuters, school pupils, those with hospital appointments, that makes it particularly difficult getting anywhere, particularly if you live in Whittlesey, and one road out is flooded and the other has a new bridge which has had traffic lights on for months now, reducing it to one lane only. And of course, the lights often fail.
I’m fortunate of course, being retired, having ME, my excursions are few, and local. Funny how we can look at things differently. I actually have to force myself to go out at times, especially in the Winter. I have many craft hobbies and happily read all day indoors.
Seasons in life, see us making adjustments, learning to live with health issues, family and friends often moving away. Change can be a good thing, it also often takes time.
God, is constant, thankfully. His Word remains the same and His offer of Salvation, Grace and Mercy are for all. Amen
Psalm 118: 1-2, 29 (refrain throughout the psalm)
“Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever. Let Israel say, ‘His steadfast love endures forever.’ “Praising God for His salvation, His goodness, His faithfulness!”
Dear Lord, we thank you for Your faithfulness, that You are with us always, and never forsake us. Thank You for the new season of Autumn and the changing colours in the countryside. We remember all the situations worldwide where we feel so helpless and watch and listen in horror to the terror being inflicted upon many, in countries far away. Please direct our prayers and actions to make a difference to those who are strangers to us, but not to You. Many innocent children living with the horrors of war, when they should be protected, learning and growing in safety.
Lord we pray for peace, in Jesus’s Name-Amen
