This extended lockdown is doing my head in!
I can’t teach the students I care for face to face. I cannot go to church. The days are blurring together. My life has been feeling bland and flavourless despite all the challenges there are with COVID. Then this weekend came…
The weekend before last, Saturday was a beautiful winters day, blue sky and sunshine, and I was out the front chatting with neighbours about life - it was a special moment that God had given me. Sunday was the opposite, cold and wet, a great day to buy hot chips and do cryptic crosswords with my wife – another moment given to me.
I realised that each day is a gift and that I am to use time well to be a gift to others. God has tailored each moment for us to participate in his plan – live in the moment for him.
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5
