Reflection

Warm glow,
Morning light.

Watching from my window,

Waiting.

People pass by,
Cautiously.

Spring snow melting.

Sunshine on my face.

Isolated. Alone. Together.

Perseverance through suffering

Help is needed in every capacity, all over the world, as people ...

• put their lives at risk to care for those sick and dying from COVID-19
• look after those in hospitals, rest-homes and respite-care facilities where visitors are now not permitted
• remain in isolation at home or in a quarantine centre
• try to get medical help because they are feeling unwell
• stay physically distant from one another
• queue in-line or on-line at the grocery store for hours at a time
• work to produce and deliver food to those in need
• wait for an answer from a friend or loved one far away
• adapt to children being at home and not in school
• sit alone with no one to help in a time of need

Know that you are not alone in your suffering and there is hope.  God is our refuge, our rock and our strength in times of trouble. Psalm 71

By placing your faith in God you will find inner strength and peace and hope for the future.

Suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character and character produces hope.

Romans Chapter 5
