Hi David, Thanks for commenting. I am actually enjoying the quietness and lack of busyness. However, spending too much time seated, reading, or on my laptop can lead to mental tiredness. I could do with the refreshment of a change of place… but travel is not possible for anyone in the UK for now, alas.
It’s a weird old interesting time, and I am curious to see what this strange period has to teach me.
Blessings to you in lockdown.

I am sorry to hear of the death of your father, Andy, during this global pandemic. The death of a father is tough… I was distraught when my father passed away.
May be the peace of Christ be with you all. x

And so I welcomed the opportunity and planned to at last declutter my ‘stuff’ and rest properly. And so it was in God’s sovereign plan that my father died on 27 April and since then I have been swamped by a tsunami of pressing business, organisation and the raw emotions of my own and others…. and all the rest of your words, Anita, must therefore come into play otherwise I will not survive in the way God planned from before time. Thank you 🙏🏼

I think there is a question of lives being over-busy: I have been reminded of Mark 6:31: “And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little”. But I do find the lock down rather busy and need to try harder to contemplate.
