So thoughtful.
Self-isolating and solitary have similar roots - the sense of being alone, apart from others.
This is Lent, when we remember Jesus going into the deserted place to be tempted by the Devil. Later on in Mark 4, the Bible says Jesus got up early while it was still dark, and went to a solitary place to pray.
But this is still a difficult time. Just two thoughts
- firstly that when he was on earth Jesus faced times when he was alone, so he understands what we are going through
- secondly, the Bible promises us that nothing, can separate us from God's love.
This time of being solitary is good for reflecting and meditating, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Bless, and I'm loving the reduction in traffic/aircraft noise, and more opportunity to hear the birdsong
DeleteAlternating between being strong then being tearful. Sick with worry as 3 daughters all doctors. Trying to be calm and pray.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I will be praying for your daughters - and for you that you will know peace in your heart x
