Lockdown 757

Lockdown Day 757-22 April 2022

Friday. Anique is in town and we had a scrumptious French Toast at Remo's Italian, while the rain slowly drizzled outside. Baakens Valley felt cosmopolitan with the MSC Orchestra moored at the harbour, visible all the way into the valley.

We also visited a very chic and glam shop selling upmarket previously worn designer labels, with an impressive range of winter jackets.

My afternoon was spent defrosting our little freezing compartment and camping freezer that had both accumulated a ton of ice.

All that while I kept musing about the lemons from yesterday I haven't used yet.

I did some research and came across a fascinating paper about God's use for lemons.

Lemons have a distinctive fragrance that is now proved by the Center for Autoimmune Diseases in Tel Aviv, Israel to directly affect the neurotransmitters that boost mental health.

In Japan, research showed significant lower levels of stress, fear and anxiety in patients who inhaled the fragrance of citrus based essential oils, in particular lemon or yuzu. It also had a healing effect in patients with autoimmune diseases.

Everything God made, was made for a purpose. So it stands to reason these two lemons were sent into my world to teach me something about my faith and relationship with God. And just like the feathers, they confirm that God's got this.
