Sandra’s Soliloquy
Hello Everyone
Hope you are well and coping with the heat once again. Personally, I feel better prepared and coping better this time around. It seems as if it is going to be normal for us in future. I am fortunate that being retired I can at least stay indoors and look after myself there.
I have been very thankful this week for God’s provision as I sort out road tax, car insurance and paying for a holiday, with more bills approaching. I try and ignore speculation about taxing the state pension, not compensating WASPI (women who were affected by having their pensionable age increased) and anything like that, whilst still signing petitions and writing to MPs and ministers, knowing that God always blesses me and I have a good life. It is a simple and quiet life, due to my ME.
I continue to enjoy my weekly Art group, relaxing and drawing, with like-minded people. I am grateful that I am able to do this and have quite a collection of new work from this year. Today, feeling in a very positive mood, having actually gone back to sleep for the morning, I started a new FB page, from my current one. ‘Sandra’s Art,’ where I am sharing my pieces and inviting people to have a look. I was very surprised and pleased that I was able to do this. It was a spontaneous, new thing.
God is exceedingly able to do new things and the impossible.
Ephesians 3: 20, 21 NKJ
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church, by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen
Dear Father
Thank You for my life. Thank you for watching over me and my family, and providing for us all.
We pray for all those affected by the terrible flooding in Texas and the lives lost. We feel deeply for them and as with many disasters, and wars, feel helpless. We ask that You show us ways in which we can make a difference in our World and to lives. Please be with all those who are vulnerable in high temperatures and provide the care they need. We pray for those known to us who are sick, bereaved and in need. Bring healing Lord and we ask that all feel Your Love and Presence in every situation.
In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless everyone. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did, when I was searching for the old hymn, To God be the glory. Sandra x
