Lockdown 11

Lockdown Day 11- 6 April 2020 

A skipping stone is an amazing thing to pick up, but then you need a large body of water to make the magic happen...... and boy oh boy what a wonderful feeling it is when you find the perfect stone and watching it glide effortlessly over the water is first prize. But have you ever found the perfect skipping stone, but had to save it and wait until you get to the water? Sometimes the wait feels like eternity and you can almost not bear it anymore, but the stone is só perfect for you not to want to try it out so you put it in a little tissue lined box next to your bed and every night you touch its smooth surface and anticipate the excitement and sheer pleasure of that monent that is still to come.

So it also is with love. And Lockdown love too. Today is our 33rd wedding anniversary and this love between us still stands strong and steadfast. I often wonder how it would be if we were to be separated during Lockdown. I am pretty sure it would be like two special friends finding each others' hearts via cellphone chats and video calls when Lockdown happens. They can't meet or travel to each other, but the bond just keeps growing. And the anticipation too; the anticipation of meeting, and sheer pleasure of human touch once again on our skin. Just like the moment you eventually reach that body of water and get to experience what you have dreamed about. 

So tonight I celebrate love. Lockdown love. My love is locked down with me and I am thankful beyond measure that circumstances did not separate us.If you are alone celebrate the pure and most perfect love of our Creator for you. If you have found new love in this time, pray for the right time , anticipate the meeting and savour every call and chat until then. It will happen as appointed by God Himself. So enjoy the ride because God's got this.
