Lockdown 17

Lockdown Day 17 -  12 April 2020 

The day started off with a peaceful quiet. I woke with the first sun struggling through the tree, casting a little rainbow into the room. After church on youtube my daily coffee infused sun-bath was rudely interrupted by my Chinese neighbours' screaming match that made Gordon Ramsey look good on a bad day. In a weird way it was the catalyst for the rest of the day, a sort of call to 'halt' for a moment. 

So I decided today would be my "pause" day. Pause to reflect on Jesus that said He would rise from the dead. Pause to fully understand how the empty grave made my life full. Pause to realise my total human iniquity in the face of a Friend who chose to lose His life so I could have mine. But because He did this I cán live and I cán dance! This is precisely why, from today, I won't count the days, but rather try my flawed human best to make the days count! I hope for fruitful work days and joyful play days. Rainy days and sunny days. Soul flying days and earthgrounding days. Days with a warm heart and salty tears. And days with a spirit so large, the spirit world will take notice of the Lion of Judah who has my family's back. And yes, mostly days knowing God's well and truly got this.
