Sandra’s Soliloquy
Happy New Year friends.
I am not sure when I can post this as I am needed to babysit first thing for a poorly young grandson until his Aunty can take over, whilst his mummy works. I was woken this morning first thing by a phone call coming through the 8-hour sleep music that had finally got me to sleep at 2 am. One thing I am grateful for is being awake and moving and thinking quite quickly in the morning. I was able to go and look after him until his mummy could find someone to cover her shift today. She treated us to a Subways lunch, as we both missed breakfast and needed a treat in our sleep deprived state.
I’ve discovered they do a lovely gluten free tuna salad panini which I enjoy occasionally.
And here we are in a New Year, dealing with the mundane and in spite of all the terrible things happening world-wide, we look out for each other and ourselves.
I am writing more. I have been knitting. I have been writing. I am resting and hibernating.
But more than anything, I keep Praying and seeking God.
When we feel helpless and overwhelmed by things out of our control…PRAY, PRAISE and seek GOD.
And do not fear!
Dear Lord, we need You more than ever, the World needs You. The poor, the homeless, the war-torn orphan, injured, those overcome by the mindless decisions of dictators, those intent on power and war. We pray that Your light within us continues to shine in dark corners, which draws people to You.
In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
Please pray for those you know who need healing and support.
God Bless everyone. Sandra x
