One morning last week, I was feeling quite chilly soon after I had got up, then all of a sudden the words of a hymn popped into my mind! “When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries : May Jesus Christ be praised!” It is very descriptive way of describing the start of the day! Whatever the day would bring, I knew that our loving Lord, who created the skies themselves and brings each morning so that we start a new day, would also be watching  over and caring  for us! ❤️

 The other day, a slice of Mum’s white bread that she has for toast had a hole in it! After the bread was toasted and buttered, the butter went through the hole and landed on the plate! 

    Just like the butter, our Lord’s love for us and His light, comes through all the things that make up our day and brings comfort in the midst of our pain and tiredness. Unlike a small hole, His love and light, is very,very wide, deep, and high! It is ongoing and continual now and eternally! ❤️

It is a not good when you have a part of your body that is sore, and then that is the particular part that gets hurt in another way! I had a sore toe/foot due  to a bump on it, so then as I walked through a doorway I accidentally caught my foot on the edge of the door! That made it doubly hurt! 

 Our loving Lord sees all the little and big  things that happen and  make up our day. He tenderly and caringly watches over us in all our hurts. Though physical pain is extremely awful, sometimes our heart hurts even more! May we find comfort in the knowledge that He knows every inner sigh, inner pain, and has promised to hold us always and ever in His loving hand. He will always and ever carry us through ❤️

 It has been so very “chilly” lately, particularly overnight and in the mornings!  The coldness really “ gets into your bones!” I can imagine the inside of my bones become a big chunk of frozen ice! Then, when I put the heater on, the bones start to thaw! I can’t even imagine the heat that we usually experience in January and February at Summertime! It seems such a big difference! 

   May we always show “warmth”  to everyone we are in contact with each day of the year whatever the season!  May loving kindness to others help to  be like a blanket that envelops others as they endure the pains that everyone goes through as we walk through life. May we take refuge under the warming wings of our Loving Lord ❤️
