In these worrying and uncertain times, the thoughts that sustain me are what I call the 'constants'. The things that never change. The fact that the world keeps on turning, the sun rises, the sun sets, the tides ebb and flow, the sun warms us, the rains water the earth. The mountains don't move and the deep oceans are home to the most wondrous things.... marine life, coral reefs, just think of those adorable dolphins!
A rainbow appears to give us hope and joy. Babies smile and learn to walk and talk, children laugh and play, and a mother's love only rarely fails. Fathers around the world, protect their families and provide for them by working hard...in jobs they don't always enjoy. People show courage in adversity, think of others, support their loved ones, show friendship and help their neighbours.
We have things in life that are beautiful and FREE.... the sea, the stars, the moon, a cooling breeze, red and golden autumn leaves, delicate white snowdrops, mighty oaks, deep gorges, green hills, the highest mountains, waterfalls rivers, streams....the list is endless if we look up and above our circumstances to the beauty of creation. "He gives us richly all things to enjoy". "He flung the stars into space". Count each and every blessing that you have, sometimes the smallest blessing is the sweetest. Smile often, laugh a lot, encourage one another, what you do for others will be repaid twice over...even a kind gesture.
We are given the gift of tears to express (and relieve) our sorrows, a heart to feel emotion for we are made of flesh and blood, with a soul that gives us our humanity. We will have trials and tribulations in this world but, take heart and be of good cheer, for the God of love is with you and has overcome the earthly things. The 'constants' remain throughout all eternity, think often of them, hold on to them, say thank you for them, because they will sustain you too and bring you joy.
If you think you have nothing to give - well, that's not true, because you can give away a smile, a cheery greeting, a friendly wave, and the gift of encouragement, which is precious. As we look towards 2021, hold on to hope, because these uncertain times will surely pass.
