We now have water back on at the vicarage, but not enough presure for a shower yet.
Am about to head down to the church to make plans for Sunday services, and reassure our parish administrator.
I have received so many emails, texts and calls of support and offers of help. God bless you all!
I have also had a God-indidence this morning in that I checked what the Gospel for Sunday is: Matthew 6: 24-34 on our roster. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?" (verse 25). Check out the rest of it. Tell me what strikes you about it.
As we stuggle to sort out our basic needs and establish contact with others, God is with us, Emmanuel. In the joys, and in the hurts. And especially in the long term journey as the effects and enormity of this situation becomes apparent.
If I can say one thing that is a huge help is to have people willing to listen as we talk about it. The precious gift of a listening, empathetic ear is food for the soul.
Blessings
Rev Annette
