Poetry Journal

Sadly the walk planned for yesterday didn't go as hoped.  The ground was so uneven that both Gerard and I found it too difficult to walk.  We need to rethink...at least we have a very large garden and are managing to take a good walk around it.  We are better off than a lot of others who live in high rise flats and accommodation close to others so I am trying to count my blessings.

Easter has certainly been different this year, not the family event it usually is.  However, it has given us the chance to really think and appreciate.  I have spent some time adding to my poetry journal and listening to Easter services.  It seems so strange not to enjoy the fellowship with others but it does focus the mind.

I must admit to enjoying the process of decorating each page, just as much as the writing itself.

The world has changed, the world stands still,

I watch it from my window sill.

An enemy we cannot see,

Lurks out where we can't be free.

Although with faith, we are strong,

To be apart still feels wrong.

So lets pause to pray together,

For in HIS eyes we are safe, forever.

Everyday I put my hands together and pray,

Always thankful for your ear each day.

Salvation ours for the taking,

Testimonies therefore in the making.

Encouragement and love abound,

Redemption ours to be found.

He is risen, all rejoice!
Clap your hands, raise your voice!
Saved from our eternal sin.
Free to watch new life begin,
He is risen, time to sing!
Enjoy the welcome warmth of Spring.

I also had the fun of making a paper weight and pencil tin ready for my workspace with the Sunday school children via whatsapp.  All ready to do some worksheets together and a few crafts of course.  Where would we be without technology?

A fun start for us, the children did a great job with making there own.  I have set them the task of making a book mark as well.

As always I thank you for your visit here and your uplifting comments.  Take care and stay safe.

See you soon.
