Lockdown 674

Lockdown Day 674- 29 January 2022

I had a thought today while walking along the promenade today about celebrating life even though you feel you just can't. You know when life stops you in your tracks and you are caught up in a situation where you really have no clue how to go on.

It's that moment where you need to let life flow.

Like swimming in the ocean for the first time when the swells are knocking you around and you feel you're never going to make the distance.

But you're in it and you can't get up onto the water and walk out. You first have to summon all the muscle power you have left and swim back.

Putting on your happy face when you have turmoil on the inside is difficult, but sometimes this defiant action causes life to flow, bringing a fresh perspective when you think there is none.

This is the dynamic part of life that needs to be celebrated daily in the smallest of ways over the smallest of vicories. Putting one foot in front of the other and getting through whatever tried to stop you, is a victory. Deciding to live a life of obedience when all the odds are against you, is a victory.

So tonight I celebrate life because this life is in Jesus, who is the light of men. And this light never stops.

Ever.

Because God's got this.
