Yes, it's been a long winter. We usually go somewhere sunny for a week or two in winter–New Zealand, Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico–but this year did London and Wales. So we are all feeling sun-deprived, slowed down, and a big ragged. And I am in the middle of a health scare–tests and all. So I guess my posts are becoming a bit bleak and down in the mouth!!:-) But off to the beach tomorrow.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

In this verse, he is my father, my mother, my sibling, my all.

The rock I can rely on to bring me through all travails, the one who I can trust to listen, to comfort and to fold me in his arms. To pick me up and carry me on his strong shoulders as a child.

Loads more to say, but I can see that you're struggling a little, so will also be praying that your rock and refuge are alongside you now.
