This morning started as painfully as other mornings this week, which drove me to pray for my own back...something I previously dismissed as selfish. The effect was instant, pain free and very mobile all day! I made sure to share the good news with the family and a Christian brother who I play chess with on Fridays. God is Good!
@Berrybunchfamily
my latest post (and first for a while)
all to do with Covid, fear and God's perspective
Covid and The Golden Ticket
Take your mind back, and you might remember seeing the first signs that Covid-19 could well be a real issue, heading our way, like a freight train running along the tracks towards the edge of a cliff!
Scroll on a couple of years, and it is still making the lives of tens of millions of people difficult, at best. It has taken many loved ones from their family, way ahead of time, and it has created an abundance of fear.
We’ve seen governments, the media – and especially social media – capitalising on the fear of covid, to spread more fear for their own ends: as one doctor recently asked, where are the international campaigns, outrage and outcry about the dangers of eating too much sugar, or drinking too much alcohol: covid is indeed terrible, but there are other serious health issues out there too, which seem to have been forgotten about.
I am thankful everyday for the many blessings from Father God. Today I am especially thankful for the instant answer to prayer this morning, in healing my constant back pain! God is Good, all Glory to Him!
30 minute walk under my own power today. Then, when Jo came home, I drove out to our local supermarket - which I really enjoyed...I've been getting a dry cough of an evening, but the Aircon sorted that straight away.... would've been useful knowing that a week ago!
Still, I'm getting slowly better, Jo is back to work, and the boys are back on their home ed
None of us is 100%, but we're all better than yesterday...and that matters!
Meanwhile, loads of Jo's colleagues are also going down with covid, many quite hard.
Thanks for your ongoing prayers
Onwards!!

You and everyone else brother! 😉👍@Berrybunchfamily
Do we seek closeness with our Father God?

A quote from J.C. Ryle in his book "Repentance" :
“Sir,” said a young man to Philip Henry, “how long should a person go on repenting?” What did old Philip Henry reply? “Sir, I hope to carry my repentance to the very gates of heaven. Every day I find I am a sinner, and every day I need to repent. I intend to carry my repentance, by God’s help, up to the very gates of heaven.”
@DevotionalTreasures I've received it, been comforted by it, cried some tears of wonderful release and replied 🙂
Thank you brother.
I have just emailed you.

Thank you sister @bethany
Thanks Bethany, at present my back has been strained again which makes movement difficult. This is my reward for years of manual lifting
jobs. @bethany

Jesus is Lord!
Do we proclaim Him before men, or are we afraid?
