A musing on Gen 7 & 8, comparing his stay on the ark to our COVID-19 lockdown. I never realised how long Noah spent in the ark with his family and the animals. I always knew it was 40 days and 40 nights, which doesn’t sound so bad. (Until you’re stuck in lockdown for thatContinue reading “A long time…”

Be at peace
Here is one of my favourite bible verses, Philippians 4:6-9. One thing I love about these verses is how it offers comfort by pointing us back to God. I hope you find encouragement in these verses like I do in such challenging times. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, withContinue reading “Be at peace”
Keeping a Quiet Heart
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. ~Luke 2:19 This was my first attempt at something which kinda resembles poetry… it doesn’t quite have the same flow with out the correct spaces and punctuation, something I’ll have to look into fixing. Oh to keep a quiet heart like Mary did,Continue reading “Keeping a Quiet Heart”
Am I of any use?
“Am I of any use?” – We make up our minds that we are not, and we may be near the truth. It is never a question of being of use, but of being of value. When we are abandoned to God, He works through us all the time. ~ February 21, My Utmost forContinue reading “Am I of any use?”

Musings on Peace
Matthew 11:28-30 In what a troubled time we live! In the last 2 weeks alone, our world has been turned upside down. It’s amazing the power and control that something so small can have. Who would have ever thought that the worst thing to happen in our lifetime so far would require a microscope toContinue reading “Musings on Peace”
