Everyone Needs a Rocking Chair

Wednesday

Today was the day…

The south-easter blew and though I looked longingly at the sea and the beach, I concluded it was too windy to go for a swim. Perhaps tomorrow. My morning routine follows a similar pattern each day. I have coffee and then I sit in my rocking chair and do my Bible reading. As I sat there this morning, I thought how I didn’t realise I needed the rocking chair until after I got it. It really is a place of comfort and peace. When I’m tired of working and need a rest, I scuttle to my rocking chair. Everyone needs a rocking chair! If I have written that before, forgive me for saying it again! It’s been a gift from God that I didn’t know I wanted or needed!

View from my rocking chair…this was not today…I took it a couple of weeks ago…

I know it could be tempting to sit here all day! Today it became a place of rest a couple of times during my working day – more than 9 hours I worked but it did include a few eye breaks. After it, having done no exercise and with an eye-strain headache, I went walking and that helped to clear my brain and relax my muscles.

Two bookings came in today for the cottage. It’s filling up over the summer months.

We had a lovely evening dinner with Julian and David.

Now I am ready for bed.

Acts 3:19-20

Turn to God. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord.

So true!

The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Helga xx 🙂
