Lockdown 348

Lockdown Day 348 - 9 March 2021
Today we did our usual 5km walk. Towards the end a few little white feathers dotted our way. I couldn't wait to add them to my new blue feather bottle - each feather representing hope and joy promised from God throughout lockdown.

The past two weeks I have spent in prayer for two of my closest and core friends who were ill, battling various severe flu symptoms (thankfully not the abominable virus). Working in the front lines is no joke and takes its toll on the mind and body.  Resting is essential, but what do you do when the essential service demands your attention?

With reports of the virus flaring up in Europe and no hope for relaxed lockdown measures, Africa and the rest of the southern hemisphere are starting to gear up for another wave. Our essential services need all our prayers at this time. And if you can make a difference in a safe way, then do it!

The joy and hope promised by God is every bit as real as this virus, and definitely lasting.

"Now may God, the Fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in Him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with His super-abundance until you radiate with hope! "
Romans 15:13

God says it. I believe it. 
That does it. He's got this.
