Sandra’s Soliloquy
Another week, and I’m starting with a lovely worship song I just found on You Tube.
‘So so good to me,’ by Phil Wickham. Not one I recall, but I do remember a time in my life when I could join in lively worship, dancing and skipping and bouncing with joy and exuberance, Praising God with many other like-minded people. And I still do in my heart and mind. I am grateful for the memories of those times and opportunities, plus being able to watch people celebrating like that now.
This week has definitely been one for reminiscing, and memories cropping up on FB with photos. For several years now, my youngest daughter and I have been returning to a site in France we first went to when she was a child, with other family members.
My anxiety has been increasing at times, in spite of God telling us not to be anxious about anything. The planning and organisation to include access for my disability needs and that of a young toddler, being taken into consideration. We have to borrow my eldest daughter’s car again and all that entails. Phone calls, paperwork and costs. (I’m not thinking about the packing of the car…I have to rely on others)
We keep reminding ourselves of all the fun we have and the appreciation of being able to travel and see another country. One we have good memories from, with her best friend and close family. We have today booked our Disney tickets, which is the highlight of the week. My inner child comes to the fore and is fully indulged. Praise God.
Other reminders have come from time spent with a very close friend and my middle daughter. Memories again of holidays spent together, family, and talking about personal issues with my daughter. Many times in life, my children, even when they were young (and they aren’t now!) taught me valuable lessons in life. And they continue to do so.
God has been so so good to me, all my life and I am very grateful for that.
I hope the song helps you to recall all God’s goodness to you too.
(I will be in France next week, so there will be no reflection. I may be able to post a worship song.)
Dear Lord, we thank you for Your generosity towards us, Your Blessings and Protection. We remember all the times You helped us through when we struggled and the times You took us in new directions. Thank You that we can come to You in prayer for anything, the smallest and biggest details of our lives are important to You. We turn to You when we are anxious and You will give us strength and wisdom. We know You are with us always, but sometimes we forget. But You don’t.
Thank You Heavenly Father. Amen
God Bless everyone-Sandra x
