Today I’m stressed, which is fairly unusual for me at present. This is because tomorrow I am going on holiday for the first time in years. Old and tired, with chronic health issues and limited mobility, this is a huge undertaking for me, and I don’t know how I’m going to cope.
Taking two days for the journey, I will be travelling to visit my son and his family in Ely (UK). This trip is also a personal pilgrimage for me to Ely cathedral, perhaps for the last time. Additionally, if possible, I would like to visit Norwich, to see St. Julian’s hermitage. However, that will depend on how well I am, and is probably over-ambitious.
This holiday is a huge challenge for me, both physically and mentally, so all I can do is to commit myself to God’s loving care.
I love you, Lord (Psalm 18:1; NIV).
He loves us with unfailing love (Psalm 117:2; NLT).
I love you, Lord,
And you love me:
There’s nothing else I need.
You’re my light,
My way, my staff,
My comfort, and my creed.
You’re my truth,
My fire, my Book,
My strength, Lord, without cease.
You’re my faith,
My hope, my life:
My everlasting peace.
The Lord is peace (Judges 6:24; NLT).
