This respite from the lockdown was like a breath of fresh air for me. I remembered the song we sing in church on every New Year’s Day.
O God Our Help In Ages Past
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
With gratitude, I remembered that God had led me on so beautifully each year. I also realized that like Peter (in the gospel of Mathew) I took my eyes off Jesus and looked with fear at the storm and the strong winds raging around me- the COVID 19. No wonder I was overwrought and sank into the turbulent sea of panic and anxiety.
Survival of the fittest – is nature’s theory.
Yes Jams.Thank you very much.
Laila Akka.. you expressed is so beautifully..Looking back I think God guided you to this wonderful work. We all went through this and are able to relate to this… In fact till May we were confused stressed and lost all the confidence. For me the fear Was whether I would get a chance to see my children at all as they are far away. . I had sleepless nights. As you rightly said it’s only Gods bountiful blessings that gave us the courage to rise up with positivity & hope. . Now We are a lot better though the situation is much worse. We feel this only because we started praying regularly more than usual. and feel so grateful to the good Lord for our family and all our loved ones. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate your effort. My regards to You & Annan. Stay safe Akka. .
Thank you so much Neela.Yes,God will guide us and bring us out of this COVID mess.
