Lockdown 475

Lockdown Day 475 - 14 July 2021

Little gems in our journey of life are often put there to remind us where we should look. I had to run a few errands and amongst other things collect an order at the pharmacy. While the pharmacist on duty was processing our order, her eyes told a story.

I was just thinking her eyes shine peace, when she said she wanted to tell me a story of one of the pharmacy workers who is an asthma sufferer who forgot her aspirator at home and as a result passed out in the bathroom yesterday. She came across her when she went to wash her hands, found her on the floor, resuscitated her and literally saved her life.

And then she said, " All we can do is accept Christ and have peace. Then pray for yourself and others to use this time we have on earth to make a difference. What good comes from fear when we know the amazing things that come from faith alone."  Wow.

When she handed me my packet, she said, "my name is the same as yours, I just knew I could share this story with you."

Another gem I found on our visit  to Jbay  was a miniature Schnauzer pup called Buddy, helping his people out in their shop. He came to greet me and allowed me to stroke his fur, sat when I asked and even gave me a soft paw 🐾. It was on a day I missed my pooch terribly....and there Buddy was.

To look up in a time such as this, strengthens our faith and opens our eyes to little gems that help get us through all this. So tonight I pray the presence of God over our country's people. I pray for His Spirit to move in a mighty way and to convict those of little faith, provide for those who lost everything and protect everyone with the Word from Psalm 91. Replace fear with faith and have peace. Because He's got this.
